She's Creeping
Royal Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's creeping
Into my bloodstream
Then crawling
Out into [?]
Then it sinks in
I'm not where I'm supposed to be
It's so boring
Being what you want me to be

So stop listening
Just waiting for an answer to a question that I already know
I'll let you down
It's such a shame
Maybe I am feeling like I'm alright living in the shadow
You're not around

So don't miss one
Makes you so miserable
When my message sent
God knows I'll send it again

So stop listening
Just waiting for an answer to a question that I already know
I'll let you down
It's such a shame
Maybe I am feeling like I'm alright living in the shadow
You're not around
You're not around

So stop listening
Just waiting for an answer to a question that I already know
I'll let you down
It's such a shame
Maybe I am feeling like I'm alright living in the shadow
You're not around

She's creeping (ooh)
Into my bloodstream (ooh)
Now she's creeping (ooh)
Into my bloodstream




She's creeping
You're not around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Royal Blood's song "She's Creeping" suggest a feeling of unease and the search for individuality in the midst of potentially suffocating relationships or societal expectations. The opening lines "She's creeping into my bloodstream, then crawling out into [?]" create a sense of discomfort with an unknown presence, possibly symbolic of something or someone that is infiltrating and influencing the singer's thoughts and actions. The line "It's so boring being what you want me to be" highlights the stifling nature of conforming to external pressures.


The chorus, "So stop listening, just waiting for an answer to a question that I already know, I'll let you down, it's such a shame, maybe I am feeling like I'm alright living in the shadow, you're not around," suggests a desire for autonomy and self-awareness instead of relying on validation or approval from external sources. The repetition of "you're not around" emphasizes the singer's solitude and perhaps the absence of support or understanding from those around them.


The bridge "So don't miss one, makes you so miserable, when my message sent, God knows I'll send it again" may indicate a fear of being misunderstood or overlooked, hence the need for repetition in communicating their message. The final repetition of "She's creeping into my bloodstream" suggests a continuation of the initial discomfort and the persistent struggle for individuality in the face of external pressures.


Overall, "She's Creeping" showcases the themes of individuality, societal pressures, and the importance of self-awareness and acceptance.
