Lyrics (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠)

I move like a moth or a butterfly
Craving a change in the wind
I swirl by all the insects and all the flies
Watching the cycle they're in

Better off dead than wasting my hours
Flying where I shouldn't be
Flexing like pricks with their stolen power
They're just who the spider will eat

Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs
To build a web that'll spread through the world
Feeding off our highs and lows
And curious to see us struggle
No one can leave once they merge

Oh, no one can leave once they merge
Oh, no one can leave once they merge

I'm hiding myself from the enemy
I wish to not be perceived
Didn't ask for this dangerous visibility
I'm feeling too scared to sleep

Better off dead than stuck in a maze
The center may seem like a gift
Once you arrive, it'll strip you of your life
And you'll wish that you never did

Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs
To build a web that'll spread through the world
Feeding off our highs and lows
And curious to see us struggle
No one can leave once they merge

Oh, no one can leave once they merge
Oh, no one can leave once they merge

Big bite, they liquefy the insides first
Then wrap them tight, securing their spot in the spider web
Up all night, bound to their addiction to it
Lifeless eyes, they die in the pit of the spider web

[Skeksistential-crisis]

I feel like the ‘I wish not to be perceived’ line, along with her new look (that completely covers up her real face and body), and the removal of all her old posts on social media are all connected. She’s taking back herself and keeping it private, and I really appreciate that. The constant spotlight and judgement that was put on her and the lack of privacy must’ve been difficult to deal with

[analiesegold]

There's nothing better than watching a childhood artist grow into a new self every album

[Wild_Child]

“Better off dead than stuck in a maze, the centre may seem like a gift. Once you arrive it’ll strip you of your life, and you’ll wish that you never did.” Is such a great line. That’s something I love about Melanie, one simple line can have so much depth and meaning to it.

LYRICS ! ! !

I move like a moth or a butterfly
Craving a change in the wind
I swirl by all the insects and all the flies
Watching the cycle they're in

Better off dead than wastin' my hours
Flying where I shouldn't be
Flexing like pricks with their stolen power
They're just who the spider will eat

Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs
To build a web that'll spread through the world
Feeding off our highs and lows
And curious to see us struggle
No one can leave once they merge

Oh, no onе can leave once thеy merge
Oh, no one can leave once they merge

I'm hiding myself from the enemy
I wish to not be perceived
Didn't ask for this dangerous visibility
I'm feeling too scared to sleep

Better off dead than stuck in a maze
The center may seem like a gift
Once you arrive, it'll strip you of your life
And you'll wish that you never did

Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs
To build a web that'll spread through the world
Feeding off our highs and lows
And curious to see us struggle
No one can leave once they merge

Oh, no one can leave once they merge
Oh, no one can leave once they merge

Big bite, they liquify the insides first
Then wrap them tight, securing their spot in the spider web
Up all night, bound to their addiction to it
Lifeless eyes, they die in the pit of the spider web

[honeyswann]

Hands down one of my favorites from the album. The beat is so catchy and it’s addicting already.

[VIXNSDIARY]

I THRIVE for this new era of Melanie, and to think she's the same artist from my childhood that was so fun listening to, and seeing her grow and trying new things is just magnificent.

[zkmara]

the part where she says "oh, no one can leave once they merge" and then there's a beat that affects my brain chemistry, I LOVE IT

[Toni-cqtx]

I move like a moth or a butterfly
Craving a change in the wind
I swirl by all the insects and all the flies
Watching the cycle they're in

Better off dead than wasting my hours
Flying where I shouldn't be
Flexing like pricks with their stolen power
They're just who the spider will eat

Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs
To build a web that'll spread through the world
Feeding off our highs and lows
And curious to see us struggle
No one can leave once they merge

Oh, no one can leave once they merge
Oh, no one can leave once they merge

I'm hiding myself from the enemy
I wish to not be perceived
Didn't ask for this dangerous visibility
I'm feeling too scared to sleep

Better off dead than stuck in a maze
The center may seem like a gift
Once you arrive, it'll strip you of your life
And you'll wish that you never did

Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs
To build a web that'll spread through the world
Feeding off our highs and lows
And curious to see us struggle
No one can leave once they merge

Oh, no one can leave once they merge
Oh, no one can leave once they merge

Big bite, they liquefy the insides first
Then wrap them tight, securing their spot in the spider web
Up all night, bound to their addiction to it
Lifeless eyes, they die in the pit of the spider web

[ItsJustNyissa]

This song is about the servile behaviors of people on the internet, using clever metaphors such as a spider web, indicating the world wide web, or the line "Watching the cycle they're in", indicating people who spend excessive amounts of time on their phone and other technology. It delves deeper into the Internet's obsession with drama and following creators to see their downfall, as well as the inability to leave the Internet once you are in the spotlight. It was written for social media's chokehold of society.

[bp_revolution]

Melanie is really a different kind of artist. Her songs are really meaningful and also pleasant and addictive to my ears.

[TBR]

It’s a song about internet addiction and how it’s fun, however, it can destroy someone’s identity, and mental health. It can be a escape, but it can make you worse than when you came in. It looks interesting, but once your stuck you can never leave. The “web” is literally and metaphorically a analogy for the internet and it’s creepiest corners that no one should be able to tread.

[SharriDolce]

She can’t make a bad song ❤️ she’s just truly amazing!

[Lin_Divine]

Lets take a moment to appreciate that our queen Melanie worked on this for 4 years straight wonderful job. Melanie you make me love myself and I even kept my gap in my teeth I’m not ashamed of it anymore I feel like I can be myself and just block out what others say thanks girl ❤

[PouEmo_]

Dios, porque todas las canciones de Melanie son tan bellas .

[Purpledevil-art]

THE MUSIC BETWEEN THE “No one can leave once they merge” JUST SCRATCHES MY BRAIN IN THE RIGHT WAY
