Creep
Richard Cheese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My Pablo Honey, I said to her, I said,
"Pablo Honey", I said, I said, "You go to my head, my radio-head."
Ok Computer!
When you were here before
I couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so frickin' special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the heck am I doing here?
I don't belong here
No, no, no, no!
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so very special
I'll have that special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the heck am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I'm a creep, I'm a nut-job
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
Fitter, happier, more productive, comfortable,
Not drinking too much, a pig in a cage on antibiotics!
The first part of the lyrics references Radiohead's album "Pablo Honey" and their song "Creep". The singer mentions this to his significant other, saying that they go to his head like Radiohead's music does. He then adds "Ok Computer!", which is the name of Radiohead's third album. This could be interpreted as either a reference to the band's evolution or as the singer just switching to another Radiohead song.
The main body of the song is an introspective look at the singer's feelings of insecurity around someone he admires. He speaks to them directly, telling them that they are special, and that he wishes he could be like them. However, he then calls himself a creep and a weirdo and questions why he is even there. These feelings of inadequacy and not belonging are common human experiences that many can relate to, making the song emotionally resonant.
The final section of the song is a spoken-word recitation of the mantras of capitalism and consumerism. The lines criticize the conformity and comfort-seeking behavior of modern society, likening people to animals in cages. This contrast with the personal and emotional tone of the rest of the song adds a layer of commentary on society as a whole and the disconnect between individual desires and societal pressures.

Couldn't look you in the eye
You're 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 fucking special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
and a matching soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not here
You're so friggin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the heck am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
