Creep
Celtika 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 fuckin' special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna 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 doin' here?
I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

She's running out again
She's running out
She run run run run...
run... run...

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 doin' here?
I don't belong here





I don't belong here...

Overall Meaning

The song "Creep" by Celtica talks about the feeling of inferiority and anxiety when faced with someone who is perceived as superior, in this case, a person who is seen as angelic and perfectly special. The singer admires the person but feels unworthy of their attention and presence, hence the opening lyrics. The use of descriptive words such as "angel," "feather," and "beautiful world" emphasizes how admiring the singer is towards this person, but the line "Your skin makes me cry" adds a layer of vulnerability and emotion to it. The chorus reflects the singer's struggle to fit in and highlights his feelings of being a weirdo, which seems to be the central theme of the song. The singer goes on expressing his desire for control, perfect body, and soul, which is conflicting to the fact that he admires this person for these qualities. The narrative ends with the singer acknowledging the gap between him and the other person and feeling like he does not belong to the same world as them.
