Creeper
Reese Lansangan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darling don't you worry
I am hiding behind a bush
I won't let you see what I'm doing
I could be brewing a potion
Make you want me
White shirt, denim jeans and quiffed up hair
I must remember all the things about you
While you're standing there
Within my reach, so within my reach

I say, "Hey, how'd you do?"
As you walk on by
You think I'm nothing but a girl
Who's just happening to pass by
But I got my eyes on you
I've nothing better to do
Than to spend my waking days just following you
As you sleep, as you breathe
As you shed off your clothes
Easy, I'm falling deeper
You're such an unsuspecting fool
And now you're under attack
If you were careful
You'd be watching your back

โ€˜Cause I'm a creeper

Darling, don't you worry
I'm no longer outside your door
I'm just assembling your pictures on my floor
Tape them on a will
Yes, I've got it all in control (Hmm, let's see)
Birthday, graduation, family dinner
Your photo as a child (my tiny spelling bee winner)

I know you well, I know you well
All you have to do is fall under this spell

I say, "Hey, how'd you do?"
As you walk on by
You think I'm nothing but a girl
Who's just happening to pass by
But I got my eyes on you
I've nothing better to do
Than to spend my waking days just following you
As you sleep, as you breathe
As you shed off your clothes
Easy, I'm falling deeper
You're such an unsuspecting fool
And now you're under attack

If you were careful
You'd be watching your back
โ€˜Cause I'm a creeper

Oh, I could think of a million things to do

If I could spend some more time with you
Oh, I could pet your head
Give you dinner, make your bed
And you'll say, and you'll say

I say, "Hey, how'd you do?"
As you walk on by
You think I'm nothing but a girl
Who's just happening to pass by
But I got my eyes on you
I've nothing better to do
Than to spend my waking days just following you
As you sleep, as you breathe
As you shed off your clothes
Easy, I'm falling deeper

You're such an unsuspecting fool
And now you're under attack
If you were careful
You'd be watching your back
โ€˜Cause I'm a creeper

โ€˜Cause I've got my eyes on you
There's nothing better to do
Than to spend my waking days just following you




โ€˜Cause I'm a creeper
And that's what I do

Overall Meaning

In Reese Lansangan's song Creeper, the lyrics narrate the story of a stalker who is in love with someone and is obsessively following them. The first verse sets up the scene of the stalker hiding behind a bush, brewing a potion that will make the object of her affection want her. The second verse reveals that the stalker is constantly following the person, even watching them as they sleep or shed their clothes. She knows everything about them, including pictures from their childhood. The chorus reveals that although the person thinks the stalker is just a girl passing by, the stalker has their eyes on them all the time, and they are falling deeper in love. The phrase "you're such an unsuspecting fool" suggests that the stalker doesn't perceive their act as a form of love but more of a self-serving temptation.


The bridge suggests that the stalker is so obsessed with the person that they could do a million things with them โ€“ pet their head, cook dinner, and make their bed. The last chorus reveals the repetition of the earlier lyrical themes- the Creeper still follows the person even though they are no longer outside their door.


Overall, the lyrics of Creeper portray the unhealthy desire for someone in a romantic form that is both scary and aggressive.
