Creed is an American rock band from Tallahassee, Florida formed in 1994. Creed was prominent in the post-grunge movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing three consecutive multi-platinum albums; their second, Human Clay (1999), received diamond (11x platinum) certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Creed has sold over 28 million records in the United States, has sold over 53 million albums worldwide, and was the ninth best-selling musical act of the 2000s.
For most of its existence, the band has consisted of lead vocalist Scott Stapp, guitarist and vocalist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall, and drummer Scott Phillips. Creed's first two studio albums, My Own Prison (1997) and Human Clay (1999), were released to commercial success despite unfavorable critical reception; Marshall left the band in 2000. Human Clay remains one of the best-selling albums of all time and contained the Billboard Hot 100 number one single "With Arms Wide Open"—which also won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. The band's third album, Weathered, was released in 2001, with Tremonti on bass guitar. Creed disbanded in 2004; Stapp pursued a solo career while Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips founded the band Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy.
Creed reunited in 2009, releasing their fourth album Full Circle and performing several tours before separating again in 2012. After an eleven-year hiatus, Creed reunited once more in July 2023 and announced their headlining of the Summer of '99 cruise festival in April 2024.

2. Creed was formed in 1977 by vocalist Steve Ingle and guitarist Luther Maben. Enlisting the services of Hal Butler (keyboards), James Flynn (bass), and Chip Thomas (drums), they were soon signed by Asylum Records. Their self-titled debut appeared in 1978 and was notable for "Time and Time Again," an epic southern-style guitar workout, comparable in stature to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird." Unable to attract enough media attention, the band split up shortly after the album's release.

3. There is also a German Christian metal band called Creed. They have released at least one album called "Sign of Victory" on the Pure Metal label in 1992.

Creed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Truth ignites our generation to change what's been programmed
Inside my mind
Don't you turn a blind eye
Change what's been programmed inside
Don't you turn a blind eye
Feel the passion in my breath
Stay on top if they let you
Cause the change is permanent!
Change is permanent
Rudiments of interpersonal communication
Truth will uproot and bring war's devastation to light
Don't you turn a blind eye
Change what's been programmed inside
Don't you turn a blind eye
Staying silent is a crime
Listen to me when i tell you
Feel the passion in my breath
Stay on top if they let you
Cause the change is permanent!
Change is permanent
Change starts in your mind
Leave the past behind
Forget everything you know
Make a change, let go
Make a change, let go
Let go, let go, let go
Listen to me when I tell you
Feel the passion in my breath
Stay on top if they let you
Cause the change is permanent!
Change is permanent
Change is permanent
The lyrics of Creed's song Fear speak about the importance of change and the need to break away from the programming that society has ingrained in us. The opening lines "The cradle of civilization sparks my fascination/Truth ignites our generation to change what's been programmed/Inside my mind" suggest that the singer is intrigued by the origins of civilization and the resulting impact that societal norms have had on our collective consciousness. The next lines "Don't you turn a blind eye/Change what's been programmed inside" emphasize the importance of taking action in order to effect change.
The chorus of the song "Listen to me when I tell you/Feel the passion in my breath/Stay on top if they let you/Cause the change is permanent!/Change is permanent" serves as a call to action, asking listeners to pay attention to what the singer is saying and to let the passion of their message sink in. The line "staying silent is a crime" speaks to the importance of speaking out against injustice and advocating for change.
In the second verse, the lyrics focus on the role of truth in uprooting societal norms and bringing about change. The line "rudiments of interpersonal communication/Truth will uproot and bring war's devastation to light" suggests that honest and open communication is key to uncovering the truth and exposing the harmful effects of societal programming.
In the bridge, the lyrics once again emphasize the need for change and the importance of leaving the past behind in order to make progress. The repeated phrase "let go" serves as a reminder to listeners to release themselves from the patterns and habits that have been ingrained in them.
Overall, the lyrics of Fear encourage listeners to acknowledge the societal programming that has influenced them, and to take action towards creating positive and lasting change.
