Creep
Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I wanna a perfect body
I wanna 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 doing here?
I don't belong here.
She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run run
Run
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 doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
The lyrics of Creep, as interpreted by Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star, suggest a longing for someone who is seen as special or perfect. The singer is comparing themselves to this person, feeling inferior due to their own perceived flaws and strangeness. The opening lines indicate that the singer may feel shame or unworthiness around the person they admire, unable or unwilling to meet their gaze. The mention of crying at the sight of their skin implies a deep emotional reaction to this person's presence, perhaps suggesting a sense of awe or reverence.
The singer goes on to express a desire for control and perfection, craving a body and soul that match the standards they believe are required for acceptance and desirability. They want the other person to acknowledge their absence and recognize their own perceived specialness. Throughout the song, however, the singer acknowledges their own feelings of being a "creep" and a "weirdo," perceiving themselves as outsiders who do not belong.
The repetition of "She's running out again" in the final lines could imply that the singer feels the person they admire slipping away from them, either literally or emotionally. This could also suggest a sense of chasing or pursuing someone who is ultimately out of reach.
Overall, the song speaks to a universal desire for acceptance and connection, even when one perceives themselves as unworthy or different.
