Black Widow Spider
Struggling to Escape Love's Haunting Grip
Lyrics
I'm trying to forget about someone I love
I am attempting to erase the memories of someone I deeply care about.
I'm trying to leave the person behind
I am striving to move on from that person.
I'm trying not to think about someone dear
I am making an effort not to dwell on the thoughts of a cherished individual.
But trying don't work sometimes
Despite my efforts, sometimes attempting to forget or move on doesn't succeed.
I'm trying not to picture a face I saw
I am trying not to imagine the face I once saw.
A face that has been burned in my mind
A particular face has left a lasting impression on my mind due to a significant event.
I'm trying not to think of seeing it again
I am attempting to avoid thoughts of encountering that face again.
Was that the final time?
Questioning if the last encounter was the final one.
I'm trying to save the money for something I want
I am saving money for something I desire.
Something I hope will give peace of mind
This desired object is expected to bring peace of mind.
But, peace comes in pieces and pea-sized bits
Peace is fragmented and comes in small, inadequate portions.
Will I get enough in time?
Questioning if I will accumulate enough peace in due time.
I go out to the movie and the city and
I go out for entertainment, but the mood persists.
I can't seem to shake off the mood
Despite engaging in activities like watching movies in the city, the mood lingers.
I like to watch an actor and act like them
Enjoying watching actors and pretending to be someone else.
Pretend I'm a different dude
Engaging in the act of pretending to be a different person.
Eyes on my every move
Feeling observed and scrutinized constantly.
Black widow spider
Metaphorically referring to a black widow spider, a potential threat or danger.
Climb, climb, climb into me
The spider, representing a looming threat, is climbing into the narrator's life.
Black widow spider
Repeating the imagery of a black widow spider infiltrating the narrator's existence.
I never wanted nothing from no one more
Expressing a strong desire for nothing from anyone.
I never asked you anything more
Stating that the narrator never requested anything more from the person being addressed.
But lies are to be suffered and never told
Highlighting the endurance of lies, suggesting they are endured but not confessed.
It never told, the way I did before
Emphasizing the difference in how the narrator handles things now compared to before.
I'm trying to forget about someone I love
Reiteration of the struggle to forget someone beloved.
I'm trying to leave the person behind
Continuing efforts to distance oneself from the mentioned person.
I'm trying not to think about someone dear
Continuing attempts to avoid thoughts about a dear individual.
But trying don't work sometimes
Acknowledging the limitations of trying to move on.
Always my company
Constantly accompanied by a presence, possibly negative or burdensome.
Black widow spider
Recurrence of the metaphorical black widow spider, representing persistent danger.
Climb, climb, climb into me
Reiterating the climbing motion of the spider into the narrator's life.
