The Creeps
Ash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
No your type is not a new phenomenon to me
I am making no pretense
Your unwanted influence
Makes me feel uptight and tense
Feeling sick in your presense
Arrogance and ignorance
Malignant, inane comments
Blatant low self confidence
Get out of my face

You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
Parasite, you have no right to speak that way to me

All your insecurity
Ceaseless negativity
Self-loathing obnoxious thing
Say out of my way
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
You exist like a disease to spread your misery
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps

Oh no!
Don't want to know!
You gotta go!

So obnoxious
Keep it away from me
Psychic vampire
Manifesting
You make me sick

You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
No your type is not a new phenomenon to me
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
Stay away with your disease, don't need your misery
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps




Giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
You're giving me the creeps, the creeps, the creeps
