“Evil Spider” is an indie, alternative pop track about wanting to date someone that’s already in a relationship and taken. BENEE uses the "spider” in the title and in the lyrics throughout the track as a metaphor, as she makes the song revolve around her weaving webs to lure the guy in, catch him on...
[Verse 1]
Baby, you've been threaded through my mind
Wanna wrap you up inside
Crazy, I’ma spin you till you're blind
Roll you up and make you mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna tangle up in you
Don't be tempted to escape
Wishin’ it was just us two
'Cause she'll make you feel out of place
Wanna tangle up in you
Don't be tempted to escape
Wishin' it was just us two
Just us two
[Chorus]
I am a spider
Creep up behind ya
Promise not to bite
Unless you're hurting me
I am a spider
Creep up behind ya
Promise not to bite
Unless you're hurting me
[Verse 2]
Know I
Have all the ways to reel you in
Delicately, I will spin
Evil, bad intentions on my mind
Got my fangs out, better hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna tangle up in you
Don't be tempted to escape
Wishin’ it was just us two
’Cause she'll make you feel out of place
Wanna tangle up in you
Don’t be tempted to escape
Wishin' it was just us two
Just us two
[Chorus]
I am a spider
Creep up behind ya
Promise not to bite
Unless you're hurting me
I am a spider
Creep up behind ya
Promise not to bite
Unless you're hurting me
[Bridge]
Promise not to bite
[Chorus]
I am a spider
Creep up behind ya
Promise not to bite
Unless you’re hurting me
I am a spider
Creep up behind ya
Promise not to bite
Unless you're hurting me

“Evil Spider” is about wanting someone that’s already taken. When writing the song, I didn’t wanna make the lyrics too obviously evil, so I thought I’d turn myself into the spider, making it a lil lighter and making the song revolve around me weaving webs to lure the person, catch ‘em like a spider...
I can deal with spiders that are up to the size of my thumbnail, anything bigger, big no-go. I was in Australia, and there was a huntsman spider on this plant pot, and I was like, absolutely not. So no, I’m not really a spider-lover, unless they’re small.

No. She explained to THOMASBLEACH in August 2019:
I didn’t actually write the song about me. I wrote it about a creepy old man type because there are so many out there. I kinda put myself in this situation and wanted to imagine what you would be like to go out of your way to steal someone’s partner...
