从《Creep》的歌词看来，自嘲中又夹杂着质问和宣泄。整首歌曲在放肆的吉他伴奏下，释放着无奈忧伤的情绪，具有相当强烈的感染力。
尽管表面上诉说着一个男生对爱情的迷茫，但有多种阐释的可能性，与社会的疏离成了该歌曲的深层次意义。批判现实，咀嚼痛苦，期盼光明，寻求精神解脱，是摇滚之核。《Creep》的词曲里就蕴含着反思，从爱的不对等到人生位置的追问。
《Creep》的主要亮点为和声部分前突然暴发的噪音部分，该曲是当年另类摇滚的代表作品之一，而其耀眼的光环从未暗淡，《Creep》每一个音符所爆发出的情感与力量早己烙印在听众的灵魂深处。主唱汤姆·约克灰暗的词作在复杂的作品中传递着不安、疏远的情绪。
《Creep》歌词：
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 ******' 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
You're so ******' 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 again
She's running out
She run, run, run, run! Run!
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so ******' 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.
