EAR CANDY: Creep (Radiohead)




So, okay. The song's kinda old, but nevertheless, it's still one of my personal favorites. It was released in 1992, and only became a big hit when it was re-released in 1993, but rock bands of the 90's always had that effect on people. Maybe, it is the honesty of the lyrics plus the guitars, drums and not to mention the way the lead vocalist sings with passion and eats the words down. Or, the angst and deep emotion that runs through the whole song. My favorite line/s?

I want a perfect body.
I want a perfect soul.
I want you to notice.
When I am not around.
You're so fucking special.
I wish I was special.

Doesn't that just tell you of the emotions and pain inside a person? Well to me, it does. It's pretty cool actually how creative and totally talented these people are to be able to summarize a whirlwind of emotions in one song.

When you were here before
Couldnt look you in the eye
Youre just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
Youre so fuckin special

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.

I dont care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When Im not around
Youre so fuckin special
I wish I was special

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.

Shes running out again,
Shes running out
Shes run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
Youre so fuckin special
I wish I was special...

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.
I dont belong here.
