Creep
Solar Fake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you were here before
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 fuckin' 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
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, oh, oh

She's running out the door
She's running out
She runs, runs, runs, runs
Runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was 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 belong here

Overall Meaning

The song "Creep" by Solar Fake explores the feelings of someone who considers themselves an outsider in a world where they are in love with someone who they feel is unattainable. The first two lines of the song set the tone, expressing the singer's inability to make eye contact with their desired person. They see this person as angelic and beautiful, but at the same time, the singer is aware that they don't belong in that world, which can be understood through the repeated refrain of "I don't belong here."


The singer's self-doubt is evident in the following lines as they yearn for the perfect body, soul, and control. The complexities of the singer's emotions come to light when they speak about wanting to be noticed by the one they love, even when they are not around. In a sense, the singer is conveying that they are invisible to their love interest, and this desire for recognition feeds into their lack of self-worth.


The song reaches its climax when the singer realizes that their love interest is running away in the last verse. The sudden shift towards the subject's reaction is followed by the ending refrain that reinforces the idea of their being out of place. Overall, the song's message is a dark yet relatable expression of feeling like an outsider in one's own life.

Interesting how Sven manages to turn songs that I literally hate into something very much listenable :)

HOLLY OWEN

I think its because he actually feels and emotes in the lyrics,like one can dance the steps,but others become the character..or have known how it feels.
