Creep
Andre Sarbib Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you were here before,
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,
I wish I was special,
You're so very 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 wanna have control,
I wanna perfect body,

I want a perfect soul,
I want you to notice,
When I'm not around,
You're so very 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.

Whatever makes you happy,
Whatever you want,
You're so very 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.

Overall Meaning

The song "Creep" by Andre Sarbib is an emotionally charged piece with a powerful and relatable message. The lyrics describe the feelings of someone who is deeply infatuated with another person but is crippled by their own sense of inadequacy and self-doubt. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer confessing that they cannot look the other person in the eye, as they are overwhelmed by their beauty and perfection. This sense of unworthiness is further magnified by the lines "I wish I was special, you're so very special."


The chorus of the song is where the true emotional punch is delivered. The singer brutally confronts their own self-loathing, confessing "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, what the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here." These lines highlight the deep sense of alienation that the singer feels, as they struggle to make sense of their own desires and insecurities. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer expressing a desire to have control and a perfect body and soul, all in an attempt to win the other person's affection. Ultimately, the singer is left feeling disconnected and alone, unable to bridge the gap between themselves and the object of their affection.


Overall, "Creep" is a powerful and poignant song that speaks to the universal human experience of longing for connection and acceptance, even in the face of our own perceived flaws and weaknesses. The lyrics are raw and unapologetic, offering a glimpse into the innermost thoughts and feelings of someone struggling with their own sense of self-worth.
