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"βwhich 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 ↴
I can't seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
No, maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
Simple living is my desperate cry
Been trading love with indifference
I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone
Maybe that's why I feel alone
Yeah, maybe that's why I feel so alone
'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels and
It just won't heal
I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels and
It just won't heal
Naw, it just won't heal, no, no, no.
The sun shines and I can't avoid the light
I think I'm holding on to life too tight
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Yeah, I said,
Sometimes I feel like giving up
'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels and
It just won't heal
I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels and
It just won't heal
It just won't heal, No.
The day reminds me of you
The night hides your truth
The earth is a voice
Speaking to you
Take all this pride
And leave it behind
'Cause one day it ends
One day we die
Believe what you will
That is your right
But I choose to win
I choose to fight
To fight
'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't,
Covered with skin that peels
And it just won't
Covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal.

The lead singer opens up about his inner conflict, expressing his inability to stop thinking, admitting he is struggling to come to terms with the life he is living.

The singer also acknowledges the intense feeling of isolation that accompanies the rough times, noting that he constantly feels alone even though many people surround him.

The lyrics reflect his inner turmoil and a sense of being stuck, barren, and unable to move forward. However, in the final verse, the singer takes control of the situation, declaring that he chooses to fight and win, giving himself the strength and determination to carry on.

Line by Line Meaning
I lie awake on a long, dark night
I cannot sleep as I am battling with the darkness within me
I can't seem to tame my mind
My thoughts are spiraling out of control
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
I am being attacked emotionally and mentally
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
Perhaps, I have not come to terms with my current circumstances
Simple living is my desperate cry
I long for a life of simplicity
Been trading love with indifference
I am exchanging love for apathy
And yeah it suits me just fine
I have come to accept this as my reality
I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone
I am trying to hold on, but I am emotionally numb and unresponsive
Maybe that's why I feel alone
This could be the underlying reason why I feel isolated
'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
I am damaged and worn out
Barely holding together
I can barely keep myself from falling apart
I'm covered with skin that peels and
My exterior is crumbling
It just won't heal
I cannot seem to recover
The sun shines and I can't avoid the light
I am exposed to the glare of reality
I think I'm holding on to life too tight
I believe that I am clinging to life too fiercely
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Everything fades with time
Sometimes I feel like giving up
I am often overwhelmed and feel like quitting
The day reminds me of you
Memories of you come flooding back to me during daylight hours
The night hides your truth
In the darkness, I cannot help but think about the lies you told me
The earth is a voice speaking to you
Nature has a message for you
Take all this pride and leave it behind
Let go of your ego and move on
'Cause one day it ends, one day we die
Life is finite
Believe what you will, that is your right
It is your personal choice what to believe
But I choose to win, I choose to fight
I decide to persevere and battle through the obstacles
I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal
I am still dealing with profound suffering and distress
