The "Spiderbite" was from Steven's heroin addiction as someone said above. I also feel Wayne had to know this when he wrote the song, which makes it more powerful to me. Wayne was never one to confront him about his addiction, but I feel he uses the song to convey what having Steven around means to him-
"The poison then could reach your heart from a vein
I was glad that it didn't destroy you
How sad that would be
Because if it destroyed you
It would destroy me"
