| when i first heard this song on make believe the chorus really stuck out at me because it sounded like a song i used to (try to) sing but i thought the song was about a guy meeting a girl in the middle of night or summin like that if you knwo what i mean like meeting someone for the first time and not knowing anything about them | |

| i just heard this song on yahoo's launchcast and i really liked it. to me it sounds like somebody just walking around in the city, bumping into someone on accident, and trying to reconcile their fear of human contact. lol simple, but poignant. it would be hilarious if it was about a spider, though. got 4 stars from me for that. lol | |

| How can you say that Rivers necessarily agrees with public opinion? Does the American public judge middle eastern people they meet in the street as dangerous terrorists? Isn't there something wrong with that? In regards to public opinion, plenty of musicians go much further than what I was suggesting (not stating) Rivers may be saying. For example: System of a Down - B.Y.O.B. - "we all live in a fascist nation" ... "Why don't presidents fight the war?" ... "Why do they always send the poor?" or Immortal Technique (feat. Mos Def and Eminem) - Bin Laden: "They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam But that's bulls**t, I'll show you why it's totally wrong Cuz if another country invaded the hood tonight It'd be warfare through Harlem, and Washington Heights I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem" | |

| Save for the 'can i buy you a drink' line, the spider thing really makes sense. Even if Brian was "jk-ing", I wouldn't put it past Rivers to write a song about a Spider. | |

| I may be entirely off-base here, but I think this is a political song. There is nothing in the lyrical content to verify the fact, and I wouldn't expect Rivers to write something so transparent anyhow. Regardless, the first time I heard it, it struck me that it was about prejudicial treatment of middle-easterners in North America, and also at the same time about what the U.S. is doing overseas. The following verse stands out: "did i hurt you are you ok can i buy you a drink ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh whats the world coming to" Its just a hunch, however. Don't take it too seriously. | |

| I hope I'm not stepping on toes, but it seems to me that the song is about him being afraid of a gay guy. I think it's that he's fine with him as a person, but he scares him. This song is an apology and an offering of friendship. I think. | |

| No, I am not generalizing people from the middle east. I'm saying that public opinion right now is not "I know you dont mean no harm", which is why I believe the song is not about that at all. | |
