Hey, guys...
Today's song is: Creep by Radiohead.
I absolutely adore this song. The vocals just seem nonchalant while the actual music emphasizes it. Don't you love the way his voice sounds so voulnerable? It simply makes me cry and feel so empathetic towards him.
The song is sad, and hurtful, and just truly the epitome of the humanity of teenagers. Doesn't it seem to apply to anyone who aches for someone they deem out of their league? All of the self-loathing, insecurity and feelings of not being worthy are something to which most of us can relate. We just feel like creeps when we love someone we know we will never be able to reach (not anymore).
Whenever I see him, I feel dirty, like shit, hopeless, pathetic, a loser, an outcast... a creep. I still carry on loving him. I can't seem to be able to go on with my life, knowing we won't be there to support me, he won't need me anymore.
In a personal interpretation, I would say that this song is about someone who has serious confidence problems. He is clearly in love, or rather infactuated, with a girl who he fears is too good for him. He displays these feelings by describing her as pefect, and angel and above all special, (everything he considers to be perfect in today's world lies in this one girl who he is completely in love with).
He is so bedazzled by this girl that it makes him want to be more, he doesn't feel good enough cause he idolizes her in a way, that he loves her so much, he'd be happy with whatever makes her happy even if its not to be with him and that makes her special.I feel quite the same.
I feel like crap when I see him with her, but in a way, I also feel happy for him, because at least he's happy. I just wished I could have another chance to prove him that I could make an effort and make up all the things I did.
I know I'm not good enough for him, he deserves best, but he loved me, he really, really loved me, like no one will love me again. I've screwed things up. The end is near, what can I do?
Radiohead - Creep
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
And I wish I was special
You're so very 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 very 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 out
She's run, run, run, running out
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so very 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
P.S: In this particular version, I've posted in the blog, the word fucking is substituted by the word very.
and, due to technical difficulties, this song wasn't posted yesterday - 16th July - like it was supposed to.
