Spider Song
Charlie Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴There is a spider (Spider)
Deep in my soul (soul)
He’s lived here for years (years)
He just won’t let go
He’s laying around
He’s got a mean bite
Now he’s ready to fight
And stand up for what he knows I don’t need your trophies or your gold
I just want to tell you all
Go f**k yourself
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Go f**k yourself
Woooooooooooooooh
Oaaaaaaaaaaaaohhh
F**k yourselves
I really mean to tell you motherf**kers

I don’t need you in my bar
Oooooooooooooooooh


Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Charlie Day's song Spider Song refer to a metaphorical spider living inside the singer's soul. The spider has been living there for years, and despite the singer's efforts to get rid of it, it won't let go. The spider symbolizes a tough and aggressive attitude that the singer has developed over time. This attitude, just like a spider, is ready to fight at any time to stand up for its beliefs and principles.


Towards the end of the song, the singer expresses their disregard for fame, fortune, and the opinions of others. Instead, they encourage listeners to pursue their own dreams and avoid seeking validation or acceptance from others. This is characterized by the powerful lyrics "I don’t need your trophies or your gold, I just want to tell you all, Go f**k yourself." In the final verse, the singer adds to their defiant message by expressing their disinterest in allowing the listener's presence in their life. The song encourages individualism and staying true to oneself while dismissing societal pressures.
