Creep
Kolacny Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd look you in the eye
Just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
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
Wanna 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 run run run running out
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
The song "Creep" by the Kolacny Brothers is a hauntingly beautiful rendition of the classic Radiohead song. The lyrics themselves delve into themes of self-doubt, self-loathing, and a sense of disconnection from others. The first stanza sets up a stark contrast between the singer's admiration of the person they're addressing and the feelings of inadequacy they experience. They describe the person as angelic, but then quickly admit how that person makes them feel - their skin makes them cry.
The second stanza delves deeper into the singer's feelings of insecurity and not belonging. They express a desire for control over their own life, and a longing for physical and spiritual perfection. They want to be noticed, but feel invisible when they're not around. They're acutely aware of how "special" this person is that they're addressing - more so than they could ever hope to be themselves.

When you were here before
I remember when you were here previously
I'd look you in the eye
I would gaze into your eyes
Just like an angel
You seemed like a divine being
Your skin makes me cry
Your beauty moves me to tears
You float like a feather
You move gracefully, like a feather in the wind
In a beautiful world
In a world full of beauty
I wish I was special
I long to be unique and extraordinary
You're so fuckin' special
You are incredibly special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
I am socially awkward and odd
What the hell am I doing here?
Why am I in this situation?
I don't belong here
I feel out of place
I don't care if it hurts
I am willing to endure pain
Wanna have control
I desire to have power and influence
I want a perfect body
I yearn for a flawless physique
I want a perfect soul
I crave inner perfection and purity
I want you to notice
I desire your attention
When I'm not around
When I am absent
She's running out again
She is leaving once more
She's running out
She is leaving
She run run run running out
She is in a hurry to leave
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever pleases you
Whatever you want
Whatever you desire
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
I am still socially awkward and odd
What the hell am I doing here?
I am still questioning my place in this situation
I don't belong here
I still feel out of place

Because we're all creeps who don't belong. That's the beauty and perfection of it.

I cried as well. My dog ran up to me and immediately started consoling me by pawing at me and laying his little face on my chest. It's an extremely moving cover. Angelic, ethereal voices.

Agreed. I can’t sort it. For me it has nothing to do with the lyrics; it’s the singing and piano. I think it’s just the beauty we all long for. It’s an ugly world. I suspect the temporary touching of such takes us up out of this hell, and that is tear-worthy. It’s a momentary glimpse of something higher and divine.

It's too much for me . For my Heart . I did not belong to the School that I attended . I was a token kid from a slum mixing with students from wealthy families . I didn't belong there and I knew it . This choir singing that line so beautifully ....... it kills me .
