CREEP (Radiohead)


Storytelling is all about connecting with human emotions and leave an unforgettable lasting impression. These emotions don't fade away quickly but stay forever etched in the psyche over a lifetime. That's why when an old classic song suddenly hits your eardrums one day, you can't help but hum all day long savouring the bittersweet emotions it evokes. 'Creep' is one such powerful gem from the popular rock band Radiohead. The song has achieved a cult status over the years with numerous soulful covers performed by artists at music reality shows and online platforms. It has sort of become an anthem for those who have struggled for long internally to come out of the closet and identify as LGBTQ+. It is also highly relatable to those who listen to their heart over the head, and make weirdo choices in their career, occupation, relationships etc. This lyrics feel metaphorical to their self doubt, frustration, and a struggle to live amidst the constant judgement of others around. And of course, it is literally about a broken heart who finds its pitiful creepy self unworthy for its perfect angel. Tune in your headsets, open the song here at bit.ly/Soundcloud-creep or bit.ly/Youtube-creep and follow the lyrics below. When the notes hit the crescendo after a self deprecating premise, if you don't feel moved to tears on the inside, perhaps check whether you accidently left your soul at the office yesterday. ********************* CREEP (Radiohead) ********************* 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 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, oh, oh She's running out the door She's running She 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 (Source: LyricFind)
