Song of My Life : Creep

I could say that this song might be the best song Radiohead ever made. In my opinion, the melody is just simple, the chords are not that hard to play (G-Bm-C-Cm), but still, this song leaves a very deep impression on me. The lyrics are just... deep.

Creep

When you were here before

Can'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 wanna have control

I want a perfect body

I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice

When I'm not around

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

She's running out the door

She's running

She 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

I read an interview of Thom Yorke (the vocalist of Radiohead and the writer of this song) about the meaning of this song. Thom said it was 'about a drunken student trying to approach the woman he is attracted to'. That's my point about the depth of this song. It might sound cheesy in the beginning, but sooner or later, the real point will reach your heart.

For me, this song portrayed my inability to get closer to the guy I've got a crush with. Some of the phrases even fit him perfectly. He was 'like an angel', his 'skins make me cry'. My crush is just... a beautiful creature, I can't describe him completely, but in my eyes, he is just the most wonderful thing God ever made. And because of his wonderfulness, I feel inferior towards him. I'm not good enough to get closer to him. He is so 'fucking special'. I wish I was special too, so I could just be with him...

This song is sad, really sad. When you think you can't be together with the one you're in love with.. God, I'm going to cry.
