David Bowie - The Glass Spider [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
Up until one century ago there lived
In the Zi Duang province of an eastern country
A glass-like spider
Having devoured its prey
It would drape the skeletons over its web
In weeks creating a macabre shrine of remains
Its web was also unique, in that it had many layers
Like floors in a building
At the top of this palace-like place
Assembled with almost apparent care
Were tiny, shining objects
Glass, beads, dewdrops
One could almost call it an altar
When the breeze blew through this construction
It produced sounds of wailing, crying
Tiny wails, tiny cries
The baby spiders would get scared
And search frantically for their mother
But the glass spider would have long gone
Having known that the babies
Would survive somehow on their own
Oh, the glass spider had blue eyes almost like a human's
They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries

[Chorus][x3]
Don't you hear this wasted cry, life is over you
(Mommy come back because the water's all gone)
Don't you see who's in Heaven, is there anyone in Hell?
(Mommy come back because it's dark now)
Take care, take care
(Mommy come back because the water's all gone)
Somewhere she glows divine, somewhere she wakes alone
But you, you've promise in your loving eye
God it's dark now
