Teen Creeps Lyrics
Wash away what we create
My sins like funny calls you make
Teen creeps I've seen you on my street
Teen creeps get what they want and me
I won't end up like them at all
This town will take you kissing trees
Before you see the forest bleed
Teen creeps I've tried to hold it back
So let me leave your welcome mat
I won't end up like them at all
Wash away what we create
I hate you more I hate this place
I know why I feel this way
Teen creeps please don't leave me dead, dead this way
My sins like funny calls you make
Teen creeps I've seen you on my street
Teen creeps get what they want and me
I won't end up like them at all
This town will take you kissing trees
Before you see the forest bleed
Teen creeps I've tried to hold it back
So let me leave your welcome mat
I won't end up like them at all
Wash away what we create
I hate you more I hate this place
I know why I feel this way
Teen creeps please don't leave me dead, dead this way

I think this song is about not wanting to be engulfed in the teen subculture when your in high school because you don't want to end up like the cashier at Safeway with the heroin addict boyfriend. You think you can do bigger and better things than the people around you because as soon as the novelty of drinking and doing drugs wears off you see the reality of it and it scares you so you convince yourself that you won't end up like the 'teen creeps'.

"because you don't want to end up like the cashier at Safeway with the heroin addict boyfriend." - Yeah, I know; gross, right? I personally think we should gather up every individual with a drug problem, put them in concentration camps and execute them one by one.

Why does 'Teen Creeps' immediately imply drug subculture? To me, this song is tapping into the idea of 'Teen Creeps' being the kind of person in high school who is so concerned with status and image that they live their life based off the cultures ideals rather than cultivating their own...
Why does 'Teen Creeps' immediately imply drug subculture? To me, this song is tapping into the idea of 'Teen Creeps' being the kind of person in high school who is so concerned with status and image that they live their life based off the cultures ideals rather than cultivating their own sense of morality and individuality. What does doing "bigger and better things" even me in relation to another person's life? Do you think your doing something more "meaningful"? Even if that construct existed amongst humans the people that were truly evolved would be past the point of judging other people for the personal decisions they made with their life. No Age don't strike me as a band that would make individual judgment calls but collective judgment calls; they're attacking the conformity complex that exists amongst the media and major corporations that attempt to make more money by creating an identity that everyone can attach themselves too. The 'Teen Creeps' are the people who are more concerned with appeasing society's ideals rather than their own; the people who would rather have their questions answered for them than do their own investigating. To me, No Age is more concerned with labeling people without an identity rather than the fear caused by feeling your wasting your life through drugs and alcohol and not making an honest, truthful attempt at cultivating your unique, personal potential.
I don't understand why you think the popular kids concerned with status would be seen hanging out in the street. It seems like you're just projecting your own opinions into this song.

"I don't understand why you think the popular kids concerned with status would be seen hanging out in the street.

Isn't anybody who is attmepting to analyze a song simply projecting their own opinion onto it?

Seems to be about not wanting to be like the negative forces that are surrounding you. "Teen creeps get what they want and me I won't end up like them at all."
