Lyrics
It’s four in the morning and I’m layin’ with my head against the toilet seat
– In matutinis laudibus an genuit puerpera sola ‘ caput meum contra sellam cultus
For several days now I’ve been livin’ here, too tired to sleep, too sick to eat
– Ego enim iam aliquot diebus livin ‘ hic etiam lassus ad somnum etiam male manducare
I feel like a monster and it doesn’t help that you will treat me like I’ve got the venom in my teeth
– Monstrum sentio et non adiuvat quod me tractabis sicut venenum in dentibus habeo
‘Cause I’m the spider in your bathroom
– ‘Im’ aranea causam tuam in balneo
I’m the shadow on the tile
– Ego sum umbra super laterem
I came for shelter from the cold
– Veni enim a frigore tectumque
And I’d thought I’d stay a while
– Et cogitavi ego vellem manere a dum
I’m only small, I’m only weak
– Sunt mica in lumea lor
And you jump at the sight of me
– Et fugit ad salices et se cupit ante videri
You’ll kill me when I least expect it
– Si le mato matar me han
God, how could I even think of daring to exist?
– Sed quomodo potest dici existentia?
Looking just like this, I’m hideous
– Vultus sicut hoc ego taedium
I’m nothing but legs, they used to say
– Ego autem nihil crura, ut solebat dicere
I’m nothing but skin and bones these days
– Nihil aliud sum quam pellis et ossa his diebus
You dangle me high over the drain and tell me I’m lucky you don’t drop me there and
– Et me alias tanto honore [honorasti] postmodum, et damna maxima intulisti
Let me wash away
– Et abii, et lavi,
Or put me on display
– Et disposuit me
By trapping me forever between a glass and a dinner plate
– Et me alias tanto honore [honorasti] postmodum, et damna maxima intulisti
‘Cause I’m the spider in your kitchen weaving webs through every year
– ‘Causa ego sum aranea in culina texentes telas per annos singulos
And I worked real hard on the last one but the last one got me here
– Et laboravi in ultima unum verum durum ultimum unum hic obtinuit me
I’m minding my own business but my presence makes you curse
– Ego mens mea negotium sed praesentia mea facit maledicere
I should be getting better but I’m only getting worse
– Occupatus sum tamen melior factus sum
And, God, how dare I even think of choosing here to die?
– Et, Deus, quam audeat etiam cogitare de eligens hic mori?
‘Cause then I’m just a problem that you have to take outside
– ‘Causa tunc ego sum iustus a forsit ut vos have ut foris
And I know you hate the sight of me, I haunt you when you’re fast asleep
– Et scio quia odisti me, et ego te videns despiciam
I’ve got eight legs, a million eyes, if only I had eight more lives
– Ego got octo crura, decies centena millia oculos meos, si modo plus octo vivit
‘Cause I’m a spider on the ceiling and you’re nothing but a guy
– ‘Causa aranea sum in laquearia et nihil aliud es quam homunculus
You don’t like it when I cry, you would break me if you tried
– Non tibi placent, si me amas, si me admonueris
And you will because I dared to be alive
– Et erit quia ausus sum vivere
