The Creatures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tell you, "What d' you ask me that for?"
I can't say cos I don't know
You ask me, "Why are we living?"
I tell you, "I don't know 'til I've lived it"
I won't say 'til I know
I know my life has no meaning without you
I don't need no help from above
I don't go to pray for happiness
I've got my own personal god inside,
deep inside, decp inside
You ask me, "What do you believe?"
I tell you, "I've got my family and friends"
There's no more I can say
I know my life has no meaning without you
I know my life has no meaning without love
I don't need any fantasy
And I don't worry about my future
I've got my own personal god inside,
deep inside, deep inside
You ask me, "What do you believe?"
I tell you, "What d'you ask me that for?"
There's no more I can say
I know my life has no meaning without you
I know my life has no meaning without love
I don't need any fantasy
And I don't worry about my future
I've got my own personal god inside,
deep inside, deep inside
I don't need any fantasy
I don't go to pray for happiness
I've got my own personal god inside,
deep inside, decp inside
The Creatures' song "Say" is a poignant tribute to a friend who has passed away. The lyrics describe how the news of the friend's passing has left the singer feeling lost and confused. The chorus expresses the singer's wish that their friend had confided in them, so that they could have helped them through any struggles they were facing.
The opening line sets the tone for the entire song, with the news of the friend's death coming as a shock to the singer. The line "Left us all for good, no one understood" expresses the sense of bewilderment and sadness that the singer and their group of friends feel at the loss they have suffered. The chorus, which repeats the line "You only had to say, I would understand," highlights the importance of communication and the need to reach out when we are struggling.
The song ends with a message of hope and support, as the singer assures their friend that they can always depend on them. The final lines "You only have to say, you only have to say" reiterate the importance of communication and the power of reaching out for help.

This song encompasses nearly everything I love about music: synths, guitars, and Siouxsie. The only thing that could improve it would be Dave Gahan duetting.
