Radiohead – Creep Lyrics Analysis

I first heard this song when I was exploring songs of KSHMR. At first I found nothing special in this song which would compel me to add it to my playlist. I moved on from this song but after a long time, after listening a lot of EDMs I returned to KSHMR’s channel and found this again I ultimately fell in love with this. Then I went for the original one and it was more amazing than the KSHMR’s remix from somewhere I got to read the story behind this song and I want to share this with you.

 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 fucking 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 want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fucking 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 again
She's running out
She run run run run
Run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking 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

This is the lyrics of song Creep by Radiohead. It’s a beautiful song, the songwriter Thom Yorke was inspired to write this song when he saw a girl in his college. He said that he like that girl very much, but he don’t have the courage to approach that girl. Thom Yorke said that the girl was too beautiful for him. This song is actually very good. Lot’s of people have covered this song. This song has something magical in it.

In the lyrics the narrator is continuously wishing if only he would have been somewhat special, he could approach that special girl. He call himself creep and weirdo. Which means that he finds himself lacking in courage and zeal to approach the girl. This indicated to the fact that we all have a sort of inferiority complex which we must try to overcome.

The thing which happened with Thom, happens with us many times at least it happens with me many times I can say but why can’t I write such a song or poem. I wonder. I roam in the campus and come to see very beautiful things. Listen this song and you’ll feel it. If you’re a EDM lover you should try KHSMR’s version. Radiohead stopped performing this songs because they fed up performing this all time. This song was so popular wherever they go people always request this song. They occasionally play this song.

Original Version
KSHMR’s Version

Now I only say that may Allah give me the inspiration to write poems like that.
