Creepy Nerves
Scattergun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why should I feel bad at all?
The sky is blue and afterall
Ther`s not a single reason why this
Should be my shitty day

It hits me hard
I don`t know why
Ther`s no one there
When I cry
It`s just a fucked up situation
My blood is running cold

Creepy nerves under my skin
And I can hear that call again
It was the devil
It was the devil
It was the devil

I`m lonely...

Well, I could walk 3000 miles
Being loved or catch a million smiles,
Or meet someone nand laugh the day away

Creepy nerves under my skin
and I can hear that call again
It was the devil
It was the devil





I`m lonely...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Scattergun's song "Creepy Nerves" express the frustration and confusion of the singer as he struggles to understand why he feels so down and defeated, despite the fact that there seems to be no logical reason for it. He tries to look on the bright side, pointing out that the sky is blue and there is no real justification for having a "shitty day." However, he cannot shake the feeling of despair and hopelessness that has taken hold of him. He describes the sensation as "creepy nerves under my skin," a feeling of unease and discomfort that he cannot explain or alleviate.


The second verse reveals that the singer is feeling isolated and abandoned, with no one to turn to when he needs emotional support. He is "hit hard" by these feelings, although he does not understand the cause of them. Despite his attempts to rationalize his emotions, the singer remains in a state of internal turmoil, unable to shake the sense that something is terribly wrong. The chorus reinforces the sense of foreboding and helplessness, as the singer hears a haunting voice calling out to him, one that he identifies with the devil.


Overall, "Creepy Nerves" is a song that captures the sense of disorientation and despair that can come with mental illness or emotional distress. The lyrics suggest that sometimes, there is no logical reason for feeling bad, and that sometimes, the mind can play tricks on us, conjuring up imaginary demons that haunt and torment us. Through its haunting melody and poignant lyrics, the song speaks to anyone who has ever struggled with depression, anxiety, or other forms of psychological distress.
