    LYRICS
    On candy stripe legs the spiderman comes
    Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
    Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
    Looking for the victim shivering in bed
    Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
    Suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
    And there is nothing I can do
    When I realize with fright
    That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight
    Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
    Creeps closer now
    Closer to the foot of the bed
    And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
    His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
    Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
    Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
    For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
    The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight
    And I feel like I'm being eaten
    By a thousand million shivering furry holes
    And I know that in the morning I will wake up
    In the shivering cold
    And the spiderman is always hungry

Since I was little, my dad realized that I like "that kind of things" so he always was showing me Tim Burton movies and songs by the cure. He also read me Edgar Allan Poe's tales. I'm who I am because of him and I will be always proud of that.

      You're so lucky to have had a father like yours, and I understand how proud you are. I also received a lot of musical knowledge from my father, unfortunately he died when I was a child, I got a lot of his music taste from old memories and cassettes, but I also coincidentally liked other bands that I didn't know he used to listen to. That's why I think we carry music and sensitivity in our DNA.

    The Cure and Robert Smith have the ability to tell a story, to create a feeling, to bring you emotionally and, in some songs like this, physically into their music like few if any can do today. Their brilliance shines in the simplistic melodies they use. And that is not a put down. It's more of an appreciation of how great they are by being able to create such intense feelings with such precision and ease. They really are musical and lyrical royalty.

The “Spider-Man” is just a manifestation of his depression getting ready to take him over. I remember a year ago I had a day where is was so depressed I didn’t want to move and I played this song on repeat and watched the video and saw Robert feeling the same and hearing his gorgeous voice telling me he feels what I do. I helped me a lot. Might sound stupid but this song saved me

    On candy stripe legs the Spiderman comes
    Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
    Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
    Looking for the victim shivering in bed
    Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
    Suddenly
    A movement in the corner of the room
    And there is nothing I can do
    When I realize with fright
    That the Spiderman is having me for dinner tonight
    Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
    Creeps closer now
    Closer to the foot of the bed
    And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
    His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
    Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
    Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
    For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
    The Spiderman is having you for dinner tonight
    And I feel like I'm being eaten
    By a thousand million shivering furry holes
    And I know that in the morning I will wake up
    In the shivering cold
    And the Spiderman is always hungry

My god, that guitar riff might not be tricky or super complex but it totally works, is incredible, it almost sounds like unpredictble, I mean, when you start listening the riff you expect some other notes to be played, like "oh it's just another typical melody that it goes like this others".

    @Lord.Ty. Před 3 lety +445

    I believe that this song is more about capturing the atmosphere of the situation than anything else, it generally gives of the feeling of night paranoia and unrest. The song was clearly named Lullaby for a reason. The soothingness of the melody is most likely him trying to calm himself down and it is also trying to capture the serenity of the night. His whispers are basically interrupting the soothingness and are supposed to represent his thoughts running wild. The drums represent his alertness, he’s expecting something to attack him at any moment. Weirdly enough the song reminds me of the scary things I used to make up as a child. So I think him seeing himself in the window is him being scared of his own made-up fantasy, he alone is the cause of his unrest in a way. I interpreted the abrupt ending of the song as the sun coming out and ending the night terror. Every person can have a different interpretation , however, nothing is wrong or right.

      Same. My best friend passed tragically 2 years ago and this song/album was one of our groups favs. Brings back so many good memories. ❤

    It's really, really hard to pick my favorite song from The Cure. They have so many incredible, one-of-a-kind songs it's ridiculous.
