[Verse 1]
Is it all that you wanted
Your hair blowin' in the cold breeze?
Secrets within the trees
That are not revealed to you
You're frightened over your nature
Your promises, they escape you
What's one more burden
On the back of this beast?
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't take back all the hurt I've caused
Everything I love, I have somehow lost
It's four in the morning
And the spiders are crawling
In my mind, replaying pictures
Of all that I can't undo
[Chorus]
Love, I'm trying
But I can't pull myself out when the darknеss comes
Love, I'm trying
But I can't pull myself out whеn the darkness comes
[Verse 2]
Is it a stain on your conscience?
Is it more like a mural?
A memorial for all those
Who you tried to be
Is it how you imagined it
In the great wide open?
All you've left unspoken
Now just hanging in the breeze
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I can't take back all the hurt I've caused
Everything I love, I have somehow lost
It's four in the morning
And the spiders are crawling
In my mind, replaying pictures
Of all that I can't undo
[Chorus]
Love, I'm trying
But I can't pull myself out when the darkness comes
Love, I'm trying
But I can't pull myself out when the darkness comes
Love, I'm trying
But I can't pull myself out when the darkness comes
[Bridge]
So soon my old friend
I hope that I never see you again
[Chorus]
Love, I'm trying
But I can't pull myself out when the darkness comes
Love, I'm trying
But I can't pull myself out when the darkness comes
Love, I'm trying
But I can't pull myself out of this one
No, I can't pull myself out when the darkness comes

I started writing ‘Spiders’ around the time we left London. In my head, I thought moving would solve lots of problems, like everything will be better – almost like this Neverland vibe.
‘Spiders’ is a song dealing with the fact that this absolutely wasn’t the case. I had this vision in my head that...
Andrew Davie:
I wrote this during the pandemic. I’d moved out of London, and, at the time, I was going, ‘Yeah, if I move, that’ll just solve all my problems, and everything will be much better.’ The song is about how, no matter what you’re doing, if there’s stuff that’s haunting you or that you’re...
