The piercing radiant moon,
The storming of poor June,
All the life running through her hair,
Approaching guiding light,
Our shallow years in fright,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
Through my head,
Before you know, Awake,
Your lives are open wide,
The V-chip gives them sight,
All the life running through her hair,
The spiders all in tune,
The evening of the moon,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
Through my head,
Before you know, Awake
Through my head,
Before you know,
Before you know I will be waiting all awake,
Dreams are made winding through her hair,
Dreams are made winding through her hair.
The storming of poor June,
All the life running through her hair,
Approaching guiding light,
Our shallow years in fright,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
Through my head,
Before you know, Awake,
Your lives are open wide,
The V-chip gives them sight,
All the life running through her hair,
The spiders all in tune,
The evening of the moon,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
Through my head,
Before you know, Awake
Through my head,
Before you know,
Before you know I will be waiting all awake,
Dreams are made winding through her hair,
Dreams are made winding through her hair.

There I looked it up. The reed is called Acatl. It is the scepter of justice which is paradoxically hollow. It is a day when the arrows of fate fall from the sky like lightning bolts. a good day to seek justice. A bad day to conspire against others.
The V-chip allows the government to know how many people are watching what. SOME branches of government and other pseudo-governing institutions use this information to insert their messages and bias into mainstream media.
Im not entirely sure what the spiders are all in tune for but I know that at the Bohemian Grove their motto is weaving spiders come not here. The grove is a place where world leaders and influential people are often invited to come throw off their cares for a short time and the reason they say weaving spiders come not here is that they are seeking releif from the web of information, technology, business and political stressors, and public scrutiny for a brief time. If you look one that evil thing money you can see basically spider webs in the background.
However, these webs are not woven randomly like spider webs, they seem to follow some sort of geometrical proportionality, perhaps some kind of hint at sacred geometry. Which brings me to the next point of the song. I think its about shallow lives in fright of death. I think SOAD beleives that there is more. Everything is random, and yet, proportional. The very synapses in our brains are random complex webs, seemingly random and yet they give meaning and proportionality to everything we do.
I think SOAD has always beleived that we are discouraged at a young age from thinking too hard about things that "dont exsist". If you are familiar with what a tesserect is it is a 4 dimensional hypercube. It shows you how a "flat lander" would surely beleive he had lost his mind if he came into contact with a 3 dimensional object. And yet we can plainly see that 3 dimensional objects do exsist. Furthermore, three dimensional objects can do all kinds of things like look into rooms that flat landers would consider completly sealed. Perhaps their is more to the universe that the slave owners dont want their subjects to know about because they will rebel aginst a kind of unholy order of things.
When you dream your brain fires in seemingly random patterns, and yet these dreams give more meaning to your life than your every waking contemplation. Perhaps there is something to be gained from dreaming. And yet our lives are so filled with technology that our sleep is dreamless because of various chemicals in our food and water that make our sleep dreamless. Perhaps he feels that human beings are less creative and intuitive when they are absorbed in passive entertainment such as television. Not to mention much less rebelious. If every tv in the world broke today people would riot just out of boredom.
Keep in mind as well that June was named after the goddess Juno, and it's believed that her name was derived from the word iuven, which means youth.
According to the liner notes on the album (associated with this song), Spiders is best interpreted as a song denouncing government regulation at the personal level (through subliminal advertising, the v-chip, and other government controls). It could be expressing fears that the government is using modern technology to watch the activities of its citizens. The following is quoted from the liner notes: "Your dreams are no longer sacred, as they are subject to a process known as remote viewing." Also, the V- Chip is also mentioned in the lyrics ("Your lives are open wide/The V-chip gives them sight/Of all the life running through her hair"). There are also faint voices that can be heard in the background in the beginning repeating what Serj says.
The piercing radiant moon,
The storming of poor June,
All the life running through her hair,
"All the things that happen in our dream world are being sent through wires into our heads."
Approaching guiding light,
Our shallow years in fright,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
"As we approach 'the light at the end of the tunnel' after death we see that our lives was all a dream being sent through wires."
Through my head,
Before you know, Awake,
"Before you know you'll die and wake up."
Your lives are open wide,
The V-chip gives them sight,
All the life running through her hair,
"Our lives are viewable and beign monitored by the superior beings or 'scientists' in the video."
The spiders all in tune,
The evening of the moon,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
"All the little details of life are in tune and in order."
Through my head,
Before you know, Awake
"Same as before."
(SOLO)
Through my head,
Before you know,
Before you know I will be waiting all awake,
"Before you know it we'll all die and we will see the truth that our lives were all a dream."
Dreams are made winding through her hair,
Dreams are made winding through her hair.
"Same as before"
Just my interpertation. Makes sense to me and i've actually thought about this same thing before; wondering if maybe life is just a dream and we are being watched in a lab or something.
"The storming of poor June," - resistence to the operation.
"All the life running through her hair," Wires hooked up to her head represented metaphorically as life since her life now exists through the Matrix like reality.
"Approaching guiding light," - Light used to illuminate the surgical area for the implant.
"Our shallow years in fright," - Her mind is afraid of losing her past, which at her young age are a few years or "shallow years"
"Dreams are made winding through my head," He too has undergone the government implants which compose a dreamlike reality.
"Through my head,
Before you know, Awake," - Before you know it the implants are in and you are "awake" which really means you are still asleep with no memory of what has happened to you.
"Your lives are open wide," - They scanned your memory during the operation and continue to read your mind using the implant.
"The V-chip gives them sight," - see above...
"All the life running through her hair," - see above...
"The spiders all in tune," - The nano implants are all synchronized and working properly and together for their purpose...also they weave the dreams or reality you know experience.
"The evening of the moon," - it rhymes...
"Dreams are made winding through my head," see above...
"Through my head,
Before you know, Awake
(SOLO)
Through my head,
Before you know,
Before you know I will be waiting all awake," - All awake meaning you will know the truth...
"Dreams are made winding through her hair,
Dreams are made winding through her hair." - this is all explained...to sum it up a woman is basically placed inside a Matrix like reality while the scientist or government agents (all this is seen in the video) study her. The dreams are made by the implants in her head. You can clearly see the wires hooked up to her in the video. Her levitation symbolized that human potential we all have to rise above this and over come what the government is trying to do to control us. This make sense for everyone?
This might be about Serj having a RV'ing experience and him viewing some sort of chip designed by the government. Maybe this chip enhances dreams and RV'ing. Maybe this song doesn't really have a particular meaning (thats what I love about SOAD, they never tell the meaning and keep us guessing). I don't know, everything at the moment is just inferring.
Then again, me having the paranoia; I think my opinion probably won't be accurate, due to subconscious influence.
