Creature
Moist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To beat my puppy love with all your sins
I'll come again
Bound to me suck my sickness like your lover
Sucks my weakness down like rain
We'll come again
Hurray for you boy
I was the one to never change
And I come and I come like rain
Pumped thumping ripped it open
My disease is buried deep in all sweet things
We'll never change
Spoiled rotten by your secret still
I like to hold your creature close to me
It drove insane
So here's to you girl
Opened up to make me easier
I was the one to never change
And I come and we come like rain
Lovely here and again like rain
Don't be unsightly washed so cleanly
Never invited might not mean a thing
Don't be invited I'm so manly
Don't be dirty washed so cleanly
Always perverted might not mean a thing
Never unsightly not so manly
And I come and I come like rain
Lovely here but again like rain
The lyrics to Moist's song Creature paint a dark and twisted picture of a relationship filled with obsession, addiction, and possibly even abuse. The singer describes their partner as "overzealous" and "spoiled rotten" and seems to be filled with a sickly desire for this person who they refer to as their "creature". The repeated refrain of "And I come and we come like rain" suggests a cycle of behavior that is difficult to escape from, even though it is clearly causing pain and suffering.
The metaphor of rain comes up several times throughout the song, and it is not entirely clear what it is meant to represent. Rain can be cleansing and purifying, but it can also be destructive and overwhelming. The singer seems to be both drawn to and repulsed by their partner, who they describe as "sucking [their] weakness down like rain" and "buried deep in all sweet things". There is a sense of powerlessness and surrender in these lyrics, as if the singer is unable to resist the pull of their own destructive desires.
The final lines of the song are somewhat ambiguous, with the singer instructing their partner not to be "unsightly" or "dirty washed so cleanly", while also emphasizing their own masculine potency. It's not entirely clear what message the singer is trying to convey here, but it seems to be wrapped up in themes of control, dominance, and submission.
Overall, Creature is a haunting and emotionally charged song that explores some very dark aspects of human relationships. Its lyrics are open to interpretation, but there is no doubt that they pack a powerful punch.
