El-Creepo! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's gonna be a long night
Blood shot insomniac
Keep your eyes on the prize
And take all of your secrets to the grave
You never knew just what hit you
I said a hammer head
A demonic chant
A single fan
You never knew just what hit you
Compassion doesn't live here anymore
Only a vacancy of who I used to be
Take all your secrets to the grave
Judas hangin' tight rope and swingin'
Madness sets in and man is served with wine
Wake up wake up, it's judgement day
And the cannibals have come to dine
Terrible visions and I'm deadly pale
A deceiver and destroyer of hearts
Nightmare in pieces, you look familiar
Splashed up all over the walls
Cannibalize the delicacy
Now you are a part of me
I'll eat you up, you're in my recipe
And now a part of me
I'll eat you up and now you are a part of me
The lyrics to El-Creepo!'s song "Pitchfork" paint an eerie picture of a disturbed individual who has lost touch with compassion and empathy towards others. The opening lines "Stoke the flames, little devil, It's gonna be a long night, Blood shot insomniac" suggest that the singer is in a restless and agitated state, feeding into their twisted desires. They advise themselves to "keep your eyes on the prize, and take all of your secrets to the grave", indicating that they are up to no good and will go to great lengths to keep their actions hidden from the world.
The chorus of the song "You never knew just what hit you, I said a hammer head, An empty friend, A demonic chant, A single fan" is a haunting message to the victim(s) of the singer's actions, suggesting that they were blindsided by the attacker's savagery, with no one to stand up for them. The next verse continues the harrowing imagery, as the singer becomes more self-aware of their depravity, realizing that "Compassion doesn't live here anymore, Only a vacancy of who I used to be".
As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that the singer has devolved into a cannibalistic monster, calling for the "cannibals" to come to dine, and that they have consumed their victims, assimilating them into themselves. The lyrics "I'll eat you up and now you are a part of me" are a stark reminder of the villain's twisted mindset, and the fact that they see their actions as necessary or even justified.

@Theolppoman
Todd Smith is a genius
@erichand7548
Theolppoman all his bands short of Knives out sound the same
He’s great but genius?? Pump the brakes
@blackpilldawgs
@@erichand7548 damn sounds like someone that had listened to 5 of his songs.
Nice horrible opinion though bro
@Didact13
Todd Smith does it again. As long as he makes music, I will always buy his albums. If he keeps going until he is in his hundreds, that will be fine with me. Let's not forget to thank Scott for his work on the album
@ron____vis5910
Sounds very similar to Mike Patton from Faith No More. Patton’s side project called Peeping Tom to be exact
@jasonwells4670
This band is the evolution of Faith no more . It’s a beautiful tribute and continuation of tomahawk . It s slippery and muscular music
@kglistless
This is like the magical combination of chocolate and peanut butter. "Get your pop music out of my Todd Smith!" "No! Get your Todd Smith out of my pop!" "Actually, never mind, it sounds pretty good." "Yeah... Yeah, it does!" If only 90's pop music was as interesting as this.
@withoutasaviour
