Creep
Behind The Scenes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know the route, don't know the state
Even the number, even time and space
In the backseat of the car
I loose all sense of humor
What's the reason for this trip
Tell me the rate I have to pay
I ask the driver in front of me
But his seat was empty

The days are tumbling down
And the nights are crawling
In the backseat of the car
We had no time for questions

The years are tumbling down
And the minutes are shouting
Keep on creeping on the ground to reach the light

The more I offer resistance to this
The faster gets the car
Oh it's so nice to have you on-board
Now fasten your seat-bells please
Always moving, always straight on
I'm on the look out for someone to talk to
Count the days and the nights

The days are tumbling down
And the nights are crawling
In the backseat of the car
We had no chance for questions

The years are tumbling down
And the minutes are shouting




We keep on creeping on the ground
No need to escape, no way to ignore this

mark duplass's face will never look the same after "creep"

Dusty

Cant look at him without being scary

taylordakoda67

Yeah he definitely killed his role as Josef, the best part about creep is that Mark takes the name of the last person he killed

Benjamin Hamilton

Mark Duplass is an amazing actor. I was very impressed with him in Creep and Creep 2.

81ice

He's also very good in "The One I Love"

Amature Arcadia

Maybe he's not acting

McKenzie Bell

Mark is such a good actor. It’s not often when movies genuinely scare me and creep really did. And I don’t think the movie itself scared me, it’s the fact that I could feel the sociopathic motives that Mark was portraying so well that really scared me about it. Amazing films

Sophxoxo

Same. I wish I never watched it now I’m terrified

quiplo

You know he’s done a great job when people are actually scared of Mark lol 😅
They’re both fantastic actors. I really felt bad for Aaron and I really felt terrified of Josef

I love this movie because its short and effective on a low budget. something like that really hits home with me. like finding a used car for $1500 that you think will die in a year but lasts you for 5
