Creep
Kim Hyung Woo I'll Ha Hyun Sang Hong Jin Ho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you were here before
Couldn′t look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You′re so fuckin' special

But I'm a creep, I′m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don′t belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I′m not around
You're so fuckin′ special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I′m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
She's running out again
She′s running out
She′s run run run run

Run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin′ special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I′m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?




I don't belong here
I don′t belong here

Even tho the OG vid is down, I got to see it before and it was unlike anything I had ever seen or heard before.

These guys were the Real Angels that night.

Such focus and intensity. I love them so much for their hard work the weight of their souls they trained into creating such an memorable and stellar performance before the whole world.
