I think this song is called spiders because we have nowhere to hide from cameras and remote viewing and when Serj says "your lives are open wide, the v-chip gives them sight." it means you have nowhere to run and hide from anything because you are being watched by someone. And when he says "Before you know all awake" it means before you know it someone knows what you're doing.
This is one of my favorite songs by System of a Down

A lot of you are accurate, for the most part. It IS a song about the government monitoring your daily commerce and general thoughts, for sure. If you look in the SYSTEM OF A DOWN lyric booklet, right above the lyrics for "Spiders", there is a caption reading:

"Your thoughts and dreams are no longer sacred as they are exposed to a weapon known as remote viewing and monitoring."

I believe this song is about the government monitoring your life and controlling you.
"Dreams are made winding through my head"= everything you think, see, etc. being monitored through the v-chip.
"Before you know awake/I'll be waiting awake."=you will be thrown out like garbage once the gov is done is with you and you won't remember a thing.

"The piercing radiant moon," - X-Rays to prep the operation.
"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?
