| Radiohead – Creep Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I don't know if anyone's mentioned this yet, but this song reminds me of how society has unreasonable expectations for people and how, in turn, people have unreasonable expectations for themselves. In this society, there is definitely an obsession with perfection. You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world And I wish I was special You're so fuckin' special and I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul These lines reveal the underlying preoccupation with perfection that drives the guy in this song to call himself a "creep." It is inadequacy that drives the guy in this song to feel the way he does. It's just depressing knowing that the guy feels worthless and feels like he has to be perfect just to be worthy of the subject of his infatuation. This theme is repeated in "Fake Plastic Trees." I, for one, have felt this way, as if I were some lowly cretin and this girl I knew were an angel and perfect in every way. The feeling wrenches your gut. |

this might be a stretch, but i took "alice died" to mean that the "old" alice, who always sat in the backseat of her life, died, and the "new" alice emerges as a girl reborn who's learning to take control of her life emotionally. i just got a different feeling from the song, but i definitely can see the interpretation |

i definitely agree with queenscove and eat carpet i feel it's about children having not letting out repressed emotions and the bottles-up feelings leaving a hollowness in their souls. The children need to wake up before it's too late and life is wasted on feeling empty inside. |
