Creep
Louis Delort Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run running out...
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special...
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.
Louis Delort's cover of the song Creep is a haunting rendition of the original by Radiohead. The lyrics describe a sense of alienation from the person the singer admires, who is like an angel and "so fuckin' special." They fantasize about having the perfect body and soul to be noticed by the person and express the desire for control. The song takes a dark turn as the singer acknowledges feeling like a creep and a weirdo, not belonging in the presence of the person they admire. The repetition of this acknowledgement adds to the emotional weight of the song, leaving the listener feeling the depths of the singer's loneliness and longing.
The lyrics can be interpreted in a number of ways, from a love song to an exploration of obsession and societal expectations of beauty and control. The line "I don't care if it hurts" signals a willingness to endure hardship to achieve the desired outcome, which could be seen as a commentary on toxic masculinity or unhealthy relationships. The repetition of "You're so fuckin' special" highlights the idolization of the other person and the singer's insecurity and feeling of inadequacy.
The slow, melancholic melody of the song adds to the sense of longing and desperation. The use of falsetto in the chorus emphasizes the vulnerability of the lyrics and adds an ethereal quality. Delort's cover incorporates acoustic guitar and string arrangements, further accentuating the beauty and pain of the lyrics.
