Radiohead – Creep Lyrics 12 years ago
This song is about feelings of discontent with who you are as a person, and struggling to find your identity. The song chimes "I don't belong here" and "I'm a creep", which speak to the idea that the subject is having trouble dealing with the social environment they are in, making them feel like a creep. The story told about someone who is "So fucking special", and "just like an angel", isn't just a reference to feelings of unrequited love, and/or the pains of not always being able to have what you want. However, it is an allegory for how the subject sees everyone in the world as more special than himself, and sees that they all have places to fit into, which he cannot seem to find for himself. The subject wants to be like these people that he sees around him in society and as a result lists off his wants, ultimately realizing that basically he just wishes he had a place just as everyone around him seems to.
