“Spiders” is the second single for System of a Down’s debut album. It speaks of June, a girl going through a procedure to insert a v-chip in her brain, controlling her thoughts and dreams. It metaphorically speaks of the control imposed on our will by the government, the media and the system.
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
The piercing, radiant moon
The storming of poor June
All the life running through her hair
Approaching guiding light
Our shallow years in fright
Dreams are made, winding through my head
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Through my head
Before you know, awake
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]
Your lives are open wide
The V-chip gives them sight
Of all the life running through her hair
The spiders all in tune
The evening of the moon
Dreams are made, winding through my head
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Through my head
Before you know, awake
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Through my head
Through my head
Before you know
Before you know, I will be waiting, all awake
[Outro]
Dreams are made, winding through her hair
Dreams are made, winding through her hair

Your thoughts, and dreams are no longer sacred, as they are exposed to a weapon known as remote viewing and monitoring.
