Such Horrible Things
Creature Feature Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sit back now
Let me tell you a tale
Where justice does not prevail

About an ill-fated life
So very full of strife
Where two wrongs do not make a right
So

When I was born
I did surely scorn
My proud parent's name
Then their lives went down the drain
Drove them insane
My birth was a curse
I bit the nurse
Oh, but I love the worst

I deserve to be slowly submersed
Dried out then laid in a hearse

When I was two
I poured super glue
Into my fathers hair
As he sat unaware
In his arm chair
Much to his dismay
Had to cut it all away
Oh, but it felt great

I deserve to be cut and filleted
Then tossed about in disarray
Until the pieces melt away

I am not a bad man
Even though I do bad things
Very bad things
Such horrible things
But it's not quite what it seems
(Not quite what he seems)
Not quite what I seem

Aw, hell
It's exactly what it seems

When I was four
I'd wait by the door
With a knife in my hand
And a most devious plan
It would be quite grand
As the mail fell through the slot
The sharp edge he got
Oh, but I love the thought

I deserve to be tied in a knot
Broken bones and blood clots

When I was six
I used to trick
The next door neighbor's son
In the woods we would run
Time for fun
Hide-and-seek has a cost
He would be forever lost
Oh, but I love to scoff

I deserve to have my head lopped off
Hidden and covered in moss
Until this memory's forgot

I am not a bad man
Even though I do bad things
Very bad things
Such horrible things
But it's not quite what it seems
(Not quite what he seems)
Not quite what I seem

Aw, hell
It's exactly what it seems

When I was eight
I used to hate
The color of my house
So as quiet as a mouse
I burned it down
To the ground
When no one was around
Oh, but I love the sound

I deserve to be quickly put down
Rotting six feet underground

When I was ten
I used to pretend
To drown in the sea
'Til they'd come to rescue me
Then preceed
To laugh in their face
Such a disgrace
Oh, but I love the taste

I deserve to have my brains displaced
All over the fireplace
Until this life has been erased

I am not a bad man
Even though I do bad things
Very bad things
Such horrible things
But it's not quite what it seems
(Not quite what he seems)
Not quite what I seem

Aw, hell
It's exactly what it seems

When I was twelve
I used to delve
Into evil schemes
Just to elicit screams
Boost my self-esteem
Pushed my sister down a well
She just fell
Oh, but I love to dwell

I deserve to roast deep down in hell
Where no one can hear me yell

When I was fourteen
Nothing much happened

Well, there was that one time

I am not a bad man
Even though I do bad things
Very bad things
Such horrible things
But it's not quite what it seems
(Not quite what he seems)
Not quite what I seem

Aw, hell
It's exactly what it seems

When I was sixteen
Life was frightening
My brother was quite dull
So with laughter in my skull
Pushed him in a hole
Then buried him alive
He barely survived
Oh, but I love the cries

I deserve to be battered and fried
In an electric chair that's set on high

Now that I'm eighteen
I still hate things
From this padded cell I call my home
No friends, no phone
No life to call my own

Here I will lie
Until the very day I die
Until my blood begins to dry
And I return to the darkness from whence I came

So

I am not a bad man
Even though I do bad things
Very bad things
Such horrible things
But it's not quite what it seems
Not quite what I seem





Aw, hell
I'm exactly what I seem

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Creature Feature's song "Such Horrible Things" tell a dark, twisted story of a man's life filled with wicked deeds, from his birth to his imprisonment in a padded cell. The singer describes himself as a cursed child who caused his parents to go insane and bit a nurse at birth. He underwent a series of progressively worse acts, from pouring super glue in his father's hair as a toddler to pushing his sister down a well as a pre-teen and burying his brother alive as a teenager.


While the singer insists that he is not a bad man, the lyrics suggest otherwise. He claims to love the worst aspects of his actions, and the repetition that he loves "the worst" and "to dwell" on his heinous deeds further emphasizes his malevolence. He ultimately accepts that he is exactly what he seems, an evil person imprisoned for his crimes.


The song reveals the psychological development of a sociopath, showcasing the disturbing evolution of his behavior from innocent mischief to increasingly dangerous, violent acts. The lyrics also highlight the importance of early intervention in preventing psychopathy, as the singer's spiral out of control could have been prevented with timely assistance.

I'm exactly what I seem
He is honest about who he is

SiΓ©ntate ahora
DΓ©jame contarte un cuento
Donde la justicia no prevalece

Acerca de una vida malograda
Tan lleno de peleas
Donde dos errores no hacen un derecho

Asi que
Cuando nacΓ­
Lo hice con toda seguridad
El nombre de mi padre orgulloso
Entonces sus vidas bajaron el dren
Los condujo locos
Mi nacimiento fue una maldiciΓ³n
Yo mordΓ­ a la enfermera
Oh, pero yo amo lo peor
Merezco ser sumergido lentamente
Secado, luego, colocado, Hearse

Cuando yo era dos
Me arrojΓ© el pegamento estupendo
En el cabello de mis padres
Como El Siente Inconsciente
En su silla de brazo
Mucho a su disgusto
TenΓ­a que cortar todo
Oh, pero se sentΓ­a genial
Merezco cortar y filetear
Luego lanzado sobre Disarray
Hasta que las piezas se derriten

No soy un mal hombre
Incluso aunque hago cosas malas
Cosas muy malas
Esas cosas horribles
Pero no es bastante lo que parece
(No bastante lo que parece)
No bastante lo que parezco
Oh diablo
Es exactamente lo que parece

Cuando tenia cuatro
EsperarΓ­a por la puerta
Con un cuchillo en mi mano
Y un plan mΓ‘s desviado
SerΓ­a bastante grande
Como el correo cayΓ³ a travΓ©s de la ranura
El borde afilado que Γ©l consiguiΓ³
Oh, pero amo el pensamiento
Merezco estar atado en un nudo
Huesos rotos y coΓ‘gulos de sangre

Cuando tenΓ­a seis aΓ±os
Yo hice truco
El vecino de los vecinos
En el bosque que correrΓ­amos
Hora de divertirse
Ocultar N Seek tiene un costo
Γ‰l serΓ­a perdido para siempre
Oh, pero me encanta burlarse
Yo merezco tener mi cabeza arrancada
Ocultos Y Cubiertos En Musgo
Hasta que se olvide esta memoria

No soy un mal hombre
Incluso aunque hago cosas malas
Cosas muy malas
Esas cosas horribles
Pero no es bastante lo que parece
(No bastante lo que parece)
No bastante lo que parezco
Oh infierno
Es exactamente lo que parece

Cuando tenΓ­a ocho aΓ±os
SolΓ­a ​​odiar
El color de mi casa
Tan tan absolutamente como un ratΓ³n
Lo quemΓ©
Al suelo
Cuando nadie estaba alrededor
Oh, pero me encanta el sonido
Yo merezco ser rΓ‘pidamente puesto abajo
Rotting Six-Feet Underground

Cuando tenia diez aΓ±os
Yo solΓ­a fingir
Ahogarse en el mar
Hasta que vengan a rescatarme
Entonces proceda
ReΓ­rse en su cara
Tal desgracia
Oh, pero me encanta el sabor
Yo merezco tener mis cerebros desplazados
Todo sobre la chimenea
Hasta que esta vida haya sido borrada

No soy un mal hombre
Incluso aunque hago cosas malas
Cosas muy malas
Esas cosas horribles
Pero no es bastante lo que parece
(No bastante lo que parece)
No bastante lo que parezco
Oh infierno
Es exactamente lo que parece

Cuando yo tenΓ­a doce aΓ±os
UsΓ© para ahogar
En esquemas malvados
Solo para provocar gritos
Aumentar mi autoestima
EmpujΓ³ a mi hermana abajo un pozo
Ella solo se cayΓ³
Oh, pero me encanta morir
Merezco asar en el fondo del infierno
Donde nadie puede oΓ­rme gritar

Cuando tenΓ­a catorce aΓ±os
No pasΓ³ mucho

Bien
Hubo una vez

No soy un mal hombre
Incluso aunque hago cosas malas
Cosas muy malas
Esas cosas horribles
Pero no es bastante lo que parece
(No bastante lo que parece)
No bastante lo que parezco
Oh infierno
Es exactamente lo que parece

Cuando tenΓ­a diecisΓ©is
La vida era aterradora
Mi hermano fue bastante aburrido
AsΓ­ que con la risa en mi crΓ‘neo
Lo empujΓ³ en un agujero
Entonces enterrado Γ©l vivo
El apenas sobrevivio
Oh, pero me encantan los gritos
Yo merezco ser golpeado y frito
En una silla elΓ©ctrica que estΓ‘ en lo alto

Ahora que tengo dieciocho
TodavΓ­a odio las cosas
De esta celda rellenada llamo mi hogar
No hay amigos, no hay telΓ©fono
No hay vida para llamar a mi propio

AquΓ­ voy a mentir
Hasta el mismo dΓ­a que muero
Hasta que mi sangre empiece a secarse
Y regreso a la oscuridad de donde vine

Asi que
No soy un mal hombre
Incluso aunque hago cosas malas
Cosas muy malas
Esas cosas horribles
Pero no es bastante lo que parece

No bastante lo que parezco
Oh infierno
Soy exactamente lo que parezco

I love the Creature Feature's theme. Kinda spooky, bit gory, and that halloween feeling. I don't know how to explain but I can tell it's awesome

I remember when I first discovered these guys back when this album was first released. My gawd. It was like finding a long lost rich Uncle who loved to give money away. And I still have not got sick of listening to this album. CF is an amazing and highly underrated band. PERFECT Halloween music.
