This week, I found out my younger cousin is also a Radiohead fan, and that one of his favorite song’s of theirs is “Creep.” I had forgotten how much I used to love that song. The iconic “But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo” line resonated with me in middle school, high school, and still now, as I’ve always felt like an outcast. Even though, in context of the song, that line has a negative connotation, I felt a sense of strength and pride like, fuck it, I am a creep, I am a weirdo, I don’t know what the hell I’m doing here, and I’m gonna own that. I hope this song helps you embrace your strange and beautiful self.
Lyrics to “Creep” by Radiohead:
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You’re so fuckin’ special
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
When I’m not around
You’re so fuckin’ special
I wish I was special
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.
She’s running out
She’s run run run run
Whatever you want
You’re so fuckin’ special
I wish I was special
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.
I don’t belong here.
