Creature
Kidney_Thieves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me tell you what I want
What's the use, a void of course
Take the abuse, make it worse
Creature comfort, delicate
Wish I could lose the day we met
Never in words to say this time
I should just keep this down inside
You're the other half of the sky
Creature comfort me tonight.
Creature comfort, justify
I have been waiting all these lives
Everyone's changed their thoughts with age
Scratching their bird claws in my cage
I wish I could love the sun again
Help me love the sun again
I wish I could love
I wish you could love the sun again.
I could love
The lyrics of Kidney Thieves' song "Creature" are dark and intense, full of raw emotion and longing. The song begins with the singer pleading for comfort and support, acknowledging the void in her life and the abuse she has suffered. She wishes she could forget the day she met the person who has caused her pain, and fears speaking her thoughts out loud. The chorus brings a glimmer of hope, with the singer addressing someone who can offer her solace: "You're the other half of the sky, Creature comfort me tonight."
The second verse shifts from personal pain to frustration with the passage of time and the changes others have undergone. The image of scratching bird claws suggests a sense of imprisonment and vulnerability, as if the singer is trapped and at the mercy of those around her. The final lines return to the desire for happiness and the ability to love again, with a plea for assistance in rediscovering the joy of the sun.
Overall, "Creature" is a powerful testament to the complexity of human emotion and the challenging journey of healing from past trauma. The lyrics are poetic and evocative, painting vivid pictures of pain and hopelessness as well as the possibility of renewal and growth.
