There is an emptiness, you feel incomplete. Reinforced by the "Friends don't mean a thing, Guess I'll leave it up to me".Īnyone who has ever wrestled with depression and/or addiction and relate to this song. just the listlessness, restlessness, uneasy in his own skin. probably why she called him a creep.įeeling uninspired, think i'll start a fire etc. Guess I like to steal- can be taken literally, or that he has taken from others in his life as far as trust, infidelities, etc. Well, Im half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be. Also means to tread lightly with him, as he a wild card, unsure of himself and how he will react in any given situation. Creep Stone Temple Pilots Lyrics and Creep Stone Temple Pilots Lyrics from all Creep. so to say a wounded hand, is to say a wounded spirit or soul. Take time with a wounded hand - hands are our lives, the do so much. In a process of rediscovery of who he thought he was. Alls I gots is time, reinforces the legal aspect to this, but finds no meaning in his life, no rhyme nor reason for it. he guesses he's thankful to be alive, but feels like less of a man for accepting the arrangement, maybe less of a man for losing control of his life. To me means living under house arrest, part of his probation- and the depression that would accompany it, and for lack of a better phrase "Survivor's guilt". maybe stealing to survive poverty - i just don't know. A reference to the family and being raised, but is it a case of being told how much greater/smarter/more talented than anyone else, or is it a case of an abusive situation and finding a way out of it.
