Miss The Girl
The Creatures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kiss the girl
Hand around the steering wheel
Caress the shiny vinyl feel
Don't you miss the girl?
Miss the girl
Seduced reflection in the chrome
There's petrol stains outside your home
Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
Your loving strokes are fatal charms
Revenge bites back into her arms
You didn't miss the girl
You hit the girl
You hit her with a force of steel
She's wrapped around your burning wheels
Kiss the girl
Miss the girl
Kiss the girl
Miss the girl
The Creatures' song "Miss The Girl" is a haunting and hypnotic ode to the dangers of obsession and the consequences of violent actions. The lyrics describe a driving scene where the singer's senses are heightened by the tactile sensations of the car, while a seductive reflection in the chrome and petrol stains outside his home add to the intense atmosphere. The repeated refrain "Kiss the girl" creates a sense of urgent desire, which takes a darker turn when the line "Your loving strokes are fatal charms" suggests that the singer's affection is dangerous, potentially even fatal. The final lines of the song reveal that the singer has not merely missed the girl but hit her with his car, leaving her tangled and helpless around his "burning wheels."
Through the use of vivid sensory details and suggestive language, "Miss The Girl" conveys a sense of dangerous, almost animalistic desire that leads to destructive actions. The haunting, repetitive melody and Siouxsie Sioux's ethereal vocals create a hypnotic atmosphere, adding to the feeling of irresistible compulsion that drives the singer towards tragedy.
