[Intro - dry guitar pulse, low bass, close vocal] I used to think Every thread had to lead somewhere Turns out Some just hold you there [Verse 1 - restrained vocal, sparse groove] I learned love from open doors Half goodbyes and bedroom floors Every hand that pulled me near Left another little fear I wore names that weren’t my own Built a room and called it home Stayed because the walls felt known Even when I felt alone [Pre-Chorus - tension slowly rising] Then one night Something came undone Not all at once Just one thread Then another one [Chorus - wide melodic release] I’m a free spyder No web above my head No hand deciding Where I hang or where I’m led Free spyder Running where the pavement ends I don’t need a perfect story I don’t need to make amends Every thread I cut Left a little light behind I’m a free spyder And this life is mine [Post-Chorus - short guitar motif] Mine Mine Finally mine [Verse 2 - stronger bass, firmer vocal] I kissed venom, tasted sweet Broke my glass teeth in the street Left the window open wide Watched the morning step inside Bad habits, saints and scars Static hearts and borrowed cars Every version I became Still came back wearing my name [Pre-Chorus 2 - broader harmony] Maybe freedom isn’t clean Maybe freedom leaves a mark Maybe knowing who you are Means walking through the dark [Chorus - brighter, stronger] I’m a free spyder No web above my head No hand deciding Where I hang or where I’m led Free spyder Running where the pavement ends I don’t need a perfect story I don’t need to make amends Every thread I cut Left a little light behind I’m a free spyder And this life is mine [Breakdown - minimal bass, dry vocal] No strings tonight No velvet cage No safe road No borrowed name No halo No disguise No permission No alibis I don’t need someone To set me free I already did that For me [Instrumental - concise guitar melody] [Bridge - intimate, gradually lifting] If I fall I’ll fall forward If I break I’ll know why If I love I’ll love because I chose it Not because I’m scared to say goodbye I spent so long Trying not to lose anybody I almost lost myself Not again [Final Chorus - brightest and biggest emotional release] I’m a free spyder Nothing hanging over me Every road is open Even ones I cannot see Free spyder Let the whole horizon bend I don’t need to know the ending Just to know where I begin Every scar I kept Every mistake I made Every night I thought I’d never find my way Brought me here Alive I’m a free spyder And this life is mine [Final Lift - major-key release] Cut the thread Open the door I don’t wanna hide anymore Morning sun Black boots Heart still bruised Nothing to lose No cage No guide Just me Outside [Outro - arrangement narrows, close vocal] Free spyder.
