Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is out of our range, and it's grown
This is getting to be, droan
I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more

Yeah! Drone! Stoned!




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Machine Head's song Negative Creep are filled with raw emotion, anger, and confusion. The first line, "This is out of our range, and it's grown," depicts a situation that has spiraled out of control and become too big for those involved to handle. The next line, "This is getting to be, droan," seems to suggest that the singer is tired of dealing with it and is getting fed up. The next line is where the title of the song comes in. The singer describes themselves as a "negative creep" who is "stoned." The term "negative creep" could refer to a feeling of worthlessness or anxiety that some people experience, while "stoned" is likely a reference to drug use.


The final line, "Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more," is a powerful statement indicating that the singer has lost their innocence or perhaps their trust in someone they once looked up to. This line may also be a commentary on society and how fathers can be absent or uninvolved in their children's lives, leading them to feel lost and confused. The repetition of "drone" and "stoned" at the end of the verse highlights the monotony and numbness that the singer is feeling, emphasizing their negative emotional state.
