Glass Spider

David Bowie

Transposer:

[Intro] Up until one century ago there lived In the Zi Duang province of an eastern country A glass-like spider Having devoured its prey   It would drape the skeletons over its web In weeks creating a macabre shrine of remains Its web was also unique in that it had many layers Like floors in a building   At the top of this palace-like place Assembled with almost apparent care   Were tiny shining objects Glass beads dewdrops One could almost call it an altar   When the breeze blew through this construction   It produced sounds of wailing crying   Tiny wails tiny cries         The baby spiders would get scared And search frantically for their mother But the glass spider would have long gone Having known that the babies Would survive somehow on their own Oh the glass spider had blue eyes almost like a human’s They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries [Verse 1] Don’t you hear this wasted cry life is over you (Mommy come back because the water’s all gone) But you’ve seen who’s in Heaven is there anyone in Hell? Mommy come back because it’s dark now [Interlude] |      |      |      |      | |      |      | [Verse 2] Take care take care (Mommy come back  because the water’s all gone) Somewhere she glows divine somewhere she wakes alone But you you’ve promised in your loving eye God it’s dark now (Mommy come back because it’s dark now) (Ja ja ja ja ja) (Ja ja ja ja ja) (Ja ja ja ja ja) [Verse 3] Gone Gone the water’s all gone (Mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone) Stay low on the ground The fire can drive you savage and afraid Spitting the dawn come along before the animals awake (Gone gone the water’s all gone) (Mommy come back because it’s dark now) Run run we’ve been moving all night rivers to the left If your mama don’t love ya’ then the riverbed might Gone gone the water’s all gone (Mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone) (Ja ja ja ja ja) (Ja ja ja ja ja) (Ja ja ja ja ja) [Bridge] Gone gone the water’s all gone Mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone Gone gone the water’s all gone Mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone Gone gone the water’s all gone Am  N.C. Mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone [Interlude] |      |      |      |      | |     |     | [Outro] Mommy come back because it’s dark now (Oh-hoho-oh) (Oh-hoho-oh)    Mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone (Ja ja ja ja ja) (Ja ja ja ja ja) Mommy come back because it’s dark now (Ja ja ja ja ja) (Ja ja ja ja ja) Mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone (Ja ja ja ja ja) (Ja ja ja ja ja) Mommy come back because it’s dark now (Ja ja ja ja ja) (Ja ja ja ja ja)

La chanson évoque une araignée de verre dans un pays oriental, qui, après avoir capturé ses proies, utilise leurs restes pour embellir sa toile, créant une sorte de sanctuaire macabre. À la fin de son cycle, elle laisse derrière elle ses petits, les abandonne à eux-mêmes, même si son regard humain et triste semble pleurer la perte. On ressent un profond appel à la présence maternelle, un cri d'angoisse face à l'absence, à la noirceur et à la désolation d'un monde où l'eau, symbole de vie, est disparue. À travers cette image, la chanson souligne les thèmes de l'abandon, de la recherche de réconfort, et d'une quête de sens face aux épreuves de l'existence.
