Creep

I feel you, bro. Literally, the exact same thing happened to me. The meeting, the becoming friends, the dating the best friend. I was amazingly lucky in that she had had a crush on me, too, and we kinda dated for a few weeks. I want her back so badly, but I respect her enough to give her the room she needs.<br /> <br /> If, and only if, she breaks up with your friend, go for it. ask to be more than friends. if you can manage to be a hundredth of the man you know she deserves, you'll be a hundred times better than any other man could be to her.

"To feel so passionate about someone, who looks at you like an object, just one out of a million others." How could you be passionate about anyone who looks at people like objects? Isn't it possible she either does or could look at you and see the standout you are in so many ways. When you look at a person, do you always see his/her flaws? Or do you see the entire package. We are our own worst critics. The song is excellent. The band is excellent. That's a good combination. <br />

@gurr57 Hey, I'm just saying that you seem like a nice guy. And it sort of annoyed me. (Not you). The fact that most girls are searching for someone like you! You're passionate, kind, respectful and intelligent. From the way you talk about this girl being perfect to you and how you idolize her is absolutely touching. And from a girls point of view (invade you didn't catch that I was a girl from that sentence, I'm a girl.) I think that you deserve a hell of a lot better than what you're going through.

Also, I when the through something similar. Up Intill 10th grade I thought that all boys had cooties. No exceptions. Whatsoever. That stopped when I realized that I was slowly crushing on a guy. He was really quiet but he was really smart and he was kinda awkward but I was too and one day I went up up to him and since then we've been best friends. And I'm pretty sure that this is the friend zone. Girls get it too. And let me tell you I know that it's the worst hell out there.

So yeah, if you're mystery girl can't see how freaking amazingly kind you are then maybe she isn't worth it (no offense to her I'm sure she's a nice person). You're awesome man. You're Clark Kent. But you dont realize that you're also superman. (I'm so giving myself props for that BC I just came up with that) You're not super man BC you save little girls cats (as far as I know...?) or you have lazer eyes. You're superman BC you're strong. I don't have a clue what you look like, but I don't mean physically strong. I meant mentally. And your super power is your kindness, passion and sensitivity.

Holy shit I just realized how long this was but whatever.

I basically wanted to tell you that you're awesome sauce, amaze balls, fergalicious, cool beans, or whatever else there is. So yeh I wish you luck with that girl and I hope that this helps you realize how awesome you are.

Peace.

@gurr57 <br /> I feel for you and hope you get through it with a strong sense of self like I did many years ago when I was in a comparable situation. And I hope you keep loving this song. But I don't think the poetry here is quite what you suggest. Instead, I think it's telling people to consider how the social world you live in can create seemingly enormous barriers of status that are not appropriate. Why can't you end up (despite your melancholy back then) happy and successful (to your own standards)? Why do overt things like nice skin, popularity, good hair, family connections, money, etc. lead to such considerable social gaps? What about things like honesty, work-ethic, and general acceptance of others? This song very clearly exaggerates the things that lead to admiration and high social status ("skin makes me cry", "float like a feather (in a beautiful world)") yet also suggests those exaggerations are presented sarcastically ("you're so fucking special") to show how (poorly managed) societies might belittle people into thinking are a "creep." But it's the society of alienation that is the problem; nobody should have to silently sit on the outskirts and be dismissed, if they are earnest. Why does anyone need to feel like a "creep" because "I want you to notice when I'm not around"? -- that's just an honest sentiment: everyone wants that sort of thing from their friends and/or lovers!
