"Spiders" is a song by the American heavy metal band System of a Down released as the second single from their self-titled debut album.
The song was on the soundtrack for the movie Scream 3, and was even briefly featured in the film itself.
"Spiders" uses 4/4 time at a slow tempo, and employs drum-rolls and syncopation in the verses.
Serj Tankian's vocals, while low and melodic in the verses, become more energetic and dissonant in the refrains.
After the second refrain, Daron Malakian delivers a solo bridge that creates harmonic tension with its B and D♭ (non-key) chords.
