Do Spiders
Forgive
If spiders learned to love their prey,
The hunt would turn to gentle play.

Do Spiders Forgive?Jackson Harlin’s album uses the spider as a metaphor for self-forgiveness—a paradox where the self must both forgive and be forgiven.Like a spider weaving and dismantling its web, the album explores the duality of creation and destruction: shedding old identities while rebuilding through acts of self-love.The spider’s intricate labor mirrors the internal struggle to release guilt and shame, where the “forgiver” and “forgiven” blur into one.At its core, the album grapples with the question: Who forgives whom?
The spider’s self-reliance symbolizes the solitary journey of confronting inner demons, where self-love becomes the bridge between past and present.Acts of self-love—like surrendering ego-driven defenses (a spider shedding its old web)—allow for rebirth, transforming regret into resilience through compassion.This process mirrors the spider’s cyclical nature: destroying to rebuild, forgiving to heal.The album also confronts the tension between accountability and mercy, asking: Can we love the self we’ve abandoned? The answer lies in embracing the spider’s paradox—acknowledging that forgiveness is not a single act but a continuous cycle of release and renewal.By dismantling the armor of self-sabotage, Jackson-Harlin’s music reveals how self-love becomes liberation, turning pain into wisdom and fractured identities into wholeness.This isn’t just music—it’s a mirror reflecting the messy, necessary work of self-reconciliation.Through the spider’s lens, the album reminds us that healing begins when we stop fighting ourselves and start weaving a new truth: one thread of compassion at a time.
