Furney said in an interview that Spider Besider is about leaving the band thebleedingalarm and having trouble looking for work back in his home town. The first job he could get was as a waiter at a Chinese restaurant. He noticed that the other employees' names were only three letter names, and he asked them if they were their real names. The other employees said no, so he asked them their real names. And the first person to answer said her name was Iachoku. He then asked why they didn't use their own names, and they said because no one would remember them or be able to pronounce them. The song is about how ridiculous it is that people have to leave their culture just to fit in in North American society.
