He certainly did earn that reputation.
Black tarantula
Time fi di massive come sing ya
Black tarantula
Don't play with my style, I might sting ya
Black tarantula
You want me inject me bacteria
But if ya body goin' stiff and your spine goin' numb
Now come fi get some
Shotter, hitter, serial killer
Go your funeral and I'll drink all your liquor
When you are bury we a stand next to the vicar
Fling on some dirt and make you buried little quicker
Shouldn't test the youth dem in the Tommy Hilfiger
Hug up ya mama, say sorry to ya papa
I'll a get number from your little sister
It's true, we're cold like Alaska, freezer

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
i always thought it was "black tarantula" but looking at a few different lyrics sites, they say either "blad" or "the" tarantula...
how weird :-/
awesome song tho, killer basslines :D
I always thought this song was about heroin addiction that ultimatly leads to death.<br /> <br /> If you read all the words it totally makes sense;<br /> "BLAD tarantula", "INJECT me BACTERIA", "spine going NUMB"<br /> And the verse is talking about the fact you're dying with no remorse and your family can all get screwed.<br /> <br /> Just noticed this version even includes "Time to fix you up something here right now."<br /> My minds pretty much made up on the matter.
Ha, sorry for the direct reply there man. Still getting used to how this site works!
