Creep
Brian Justin Crum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You look like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
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

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 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

Oh, oh

He's running out
He's run
He's running out
He's run run run run
Run...

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
I don't belong here...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Brian Justin Crum's rendition of "Creep" capture the raw, emotional essence of the original song by Radiohead. The first stanza paints a picture of an unrequited love for someone so beautiful and perfect that the singer longs to be special as well. However, the following verse is filled with self-loathing and a feeling of not belonging. The chorus repeatedly states that he is a creep and a weirdo and questions his presence in the world or his relationship with the person he is singing about.


The bridge is powerful, with the repeated phrase "he's running out" creating a sense of urgency or desperation. The song ends with the singer stating that he doesn't belong, emphasizing his feelings of alienation and despair.


Overall, the lyrics in "Creep" highlight the pain and longing that come with unrequited love, feelings of inadequacy, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. Brian Justin Crum's emotive performance adds an extra layer of vulnerability to the already poignant lyrics, making it one of the most memorable covers of the song.

So few people have done this song justice. So few people are capable of capturing the emotion that the lyrics possess. But you, my friend, have not only done it justice but you've turned it into a masterpiece.

@BudiSantoso-bl6uk

yes you re right dear

@truthhurts4217

I do agree with you. I know that song since it came out and none could give to it what Tom had done for it. for the first time I understand the fragility of the lyrics... beautifully done when the voice breaks.

@sergiotellez1189
