Creep
La Scala & 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 lyrics to "Creep" by La Scala & Kolacny Brothers are a haunting and introspective exploration of self-doubt and the fear of not fitting in. The opening lines capture a sense of longing for connection with someone who is seen as angelic and beautiful. However, the singer is also acutely aware of their own inadequacies and difference, which makes them feel like a creep and a weirdo. The repetition of "You're so fuckin' special, I wish I was special" highlights this sense of inferiority and desire for acceptance.
The chorus of the song is a powerful reflection of this inner turmoil, with the singer questioning their own place in the world and wondering why they don't fit in. The lines "Whatever makes you happy, whatever you want, you're so fuckin' special" juxtapose with the earlier verses, suggesting a sense of desperation and willingness to do whatever it takes to be accepted.
Overall, "Creep" is a poignant and raw exploration of the human experience, with its themes of rejection, loneliness, and longing for acceptance speaking to a universal sense of vulnerability and the struggle to find one's place in the world.

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 .
