Creep
Ursus Veritas 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 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, ohhhh, ohhhh
She's running out again
She's running out
She run 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 doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here...

I love this song so much! Over the years I have heard so many versions/covers of this song and just listening to this and signing it....makes me cry. The words are beautifully written by the band Radiohead! And Dustin Kensrue singing it makes me cry and just gives me so much empowerment. Sorry, for my rambling.

Iv met this man he’s just a man but the most talented person I have ever seen. I idolize everything Iv seen as a man and musician. As a musician myself he and thrice have been my soundtrack for life. I don’t think I have many days left I’m 31 but my last song if I get the opportunity will be anything he has been apart of god bless god speed.
