Music details
A blog by Metal Hammer describes "Wight Spider" as having "Massive chords replete with omonious semi-tones. This may not be groundbreaking stuff for the band, but it is what they do best. Spooky black-glam vocal delivery and taunting bullying choruses with falsetto layers that dance round you like a black mass meets the hokey-cokey. Lyrically, the themes fit, with accusations of "possession" and an aggressive recurring "you". Again there are melodic similarities to material from Holywood, but not so much as to be embarrassing. The pop-structures of previous tracks from the album are gone and what he learned from Trent Reznor is back – whether conscious or not: the track builds and builds without changing direction. Again the slower tempo brings the album average down, and you might find yourself wanting something a bit quicker to plug-in the aggression – the kind that has you pounding your steering wheel and you pass a born again Christian who's been blocking you since the service station on the motorway. Or something."[1]

Lyrics
Ill build you a shiny dollhouse or church where you can shrink into a tiny wight spider and gorge on horrid memories with conceited wings Smother the past in a cocoon for me and Ill help you move all the bodies Ill possess you but I dont need you to be another one of my possessions I dont need you to be my possession and I wont make you kneel for anyone but me wont promise a star dont promise your soul Well say that we dont believe Ill keep you wet when the world is dry I can see them coming Ill take you back inside if they came for answers wrap my claws round your mouth tight we consume each other until theres nothing left to hide and they can all drown in our blood
