Creep
SIN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forward yesterday makes me wanna stay
What they said was real makes me wanna steal
Living under house guess I'm living I'm a mouse
All's I gots is time got no meaning just a rhyme

Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal,
I like to steal

I'm half the man I used to be (this feeling as the dawn it fades to gray)

Feeling uninspired think I'll start a fire
Everybody run bobby's got a gun
Think you're kinda neat then she tells me I'm a creep
Friends don't mean a thing guess I'll leave it up to me.

Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand 'guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal,
I like to steal





I'm half the man I used to be (this feeling as the dawn it fades to gray)
Angst

Overall Meaning

and despair seem to be at the center of the lyrics in SIN's song 'Creep'. The opening lines, "Forward yesterday makes me wanna stay, What they said was real makes me wanna steal," reveals a sense of trappedness and disillusionment with the status quo. The singer feels stuck in their current situation and the reality around them feels oppressive to the point where they contemplate breaking out of it by stealing. This feeling of being trapped is emphasized in the line, "Living under house guess I'm living I'm a mouse," which invokes the image of a mouse scurrying about in a cramped space, unable to see beyond it.


The chorus, "Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal, I like to steal," repeats several times throughout the song and suggests that the singer is dealing with some kind of pain or trauma. The phrase "wounded hand" conveys an image of vulnerability and the need for careful handling, while the phrase "I like to steal" suggests that the singer is looking for ways to cope with this pain or trauma, even if it means resorting to unhealthy or destructive behaviors.


The final verse, "Feeling uninspired think I'll start a fire, Everybody run bobby's got a gun, Think you're kinda neat then she tells me I'm a creep, Friends don't mean a thing guess I'll leave it up to me," reveals a sense of disconnection and frustration with the world around the singer. They feel uninspired and rejected, even by close acquaintances who find them creepy. However, the last line "guess I'll leave it up to me" suggests that the singer may be starting to find some agency in their own life and that they are willing to make their own way forward, rather than depending on others.
