Spiders (Moby song)

''Spiders'' is a song by American musician Moby, released as the lead single from his eleventh studio album, Innocents, in 2013. The song features a prominent, driving beat and incorporates elements of electronic music, notably incorporating synthesizers and drum machines. It departs somewhat from some of Moby's earlier work, showing a more focused and less ambient sound. The lyrics, while relatively sparse, focus on themes of loneliness, isolation, and possibly a sense of creeping dread or paranoia. While the specific meaning remains open to interpretation, the song's mood is generally considered dark and atmospheric, contrasting with some of Moby's more upbeat and dance-oriented tracks. The song's release received mixed reviews, with some critics praising its energy and others finding it less compelling than some of his previous material. Its impact on the charts was relatively moderate compared to some of his earlier, more successful singles. The song's title, "Spiders," may serve as a metaphorical representation of these thematic elements within the song, potentially referencing anxieties or unseen threats.
