Song Meaning of “Creep” by Clan of Xymox
The song ‘Creep’ by Clan of Xymox could be seen as a warning about toxic relationships. It talks about the singer’s need to keep pushing away a potential lover, as they have a feeling that the relationship will become too emotionally draining and take away their personal space and freedom. The feeling of being constantly under pressure and the fear of losing their self-identity are what ultimately makes them “creep away”. Although the singer wants to be close to their lover, they know it is best to keep their distance so they don’t become consumed by the relationship or their partner. The lyrics suggest that the singer is fed up with feeling scared of being alone and not in control of their life and is desperately trying to find their way out from the toxicity of this potential relationship.
