Radiohead - Creep Lyrics

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

She's running out the door
She's running
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

  Everyone has felt this way many many times in some form or another. That's part of the reason this song can be heard so many times and never grow old. It relates on such a complex level. I think about those times that I see a beautiful girl from afar and immediately allow myself to feel inferior to her. The more I dwell on my inferiority with respect to her, the more perfect and special she starts to seem to me and the more creepy and weird I literally become. Amazing song. Best band in the world.

  it's about a guy who puts a crush on a pedestal. she's worth it, she's above "average" he is not. its like an unrequited love song in her honor

  it reminds me of when you are with a girl for a long time and she suddenly sees you in a different light. she shows this through her actions and behaviour and as a result makes you question why she is with you. possibly because of how much you love her you paint a picture of how much better than you she is and let her go too easy instead of reminding her why she loved you so much in the first place.
  
  a bit deep but i can relate.

  This song reminds me of the only one I ever loved, that, not even for a second thought of me being more than a "good guy".
  
  Even worse, she had a crush on my brother, and he had a girlfriend around that time!
  
  Isn't it ironic? How the only girl that I truly loved, seemed to be so blind.
  
  I think that if my brother wouldn't have had a girlfriend in that time, he would had considered asking her to be his girlfriend, seeing as he finds it so easy to express his feelings and all that corny shit.
  
  I really hope that this doesn't happen to anyone else!
