From the recording Double Take
“It’s Kinda Creepy, Baby” unfolds like a late-night confession whispered in the ruins of a love that refused to die cleanly. Set against a haze of distorted guitars and ghostly echoes, the song traces the slow decay of a relationship that lingers long after its end—less a memory than a haunting.
What begins as unease becomes something darker: two people no longer in love, yet unable to escape each other’s shadow. The past rattles like chains in every corner—old promises, broken moments, and the eerie realization that what once felt alive has become something hollow, almost supernatural. The “creepy” isn’t horror in the traditional sense; it’s the quiet dread of recognition—the way love, when twisted and unresolved, can turn inward and reshape who you are.
As the song progresses, the narrator shifts from fear to confrontation, trying to exorcise what remains through sound and memory. But even in defiance, the past lingers. Photographs, fragments, and emotional echoes refuse to burn away. By the final verses, the true haunting is revealed: not the other person, but what they’ve left behind inside—a hollow space, a distorted reflection, a self that feels unfamiliar.
Musically, the track mirrors this descent, moving from driving force to atmospheric unraveling, layering phaser-soaked guitars and backwards textures like memories playing in reverse. The result is a sonic séance—part breakup, part reckoning—where love doesn’t end, it transforms into something stranger, quieter, and far more unsettling.

Lyrics
It’s Kinda Creepy, Baby
[Intro]
[distorted electric guitar power chords, driving drums]
[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
It's kind of creepy baby, that look in your eyes
There's nothing worse than love that's gone and headed south-wise
Where you stay is haunted by the girl I knew
And she wanders looking for a life that's already through
She's got the chains a-rattling, she's got the tortured heart
She's got the pieces of a life that's torn all apart
She doesn't know what's happening, can't tell day from night
But she's scared of you too because you're such a fright
[Chorus]
[instrumental break]
[melodic guitar lead with chorus effect, heavy bass]
[Verse 2]
It's kind of creepy baby, the way we disappear
Poof, the love has gone and there's no one who once was here
A simple wrecking ball seems to shatter night
The air is much too thick to breathe or let in any light
I've got the silver bullet, got the wooden cross
I've got the bitter memories of a love that we lost
And there's no more guilt, and there's only pain
A hollow place inside where my heart had once been
[Chorus]
[instrumental break]
[guitar solo with wah-wah and delay effects]
[Verse 3]
It's kind of creepy baby, that you can't move on
At least I've exorcised my soul in this song
It's kind of creepy baby, if you look ahead
Bitter ain't no better than the ghost of love that's dead
I've got the silver bullet, got the wooden cross
I've got the bitter memories of a love that we lost
And there's no more guilt, and there's only pain
A hollow place inside where my heart had once been
[Chorus]
[instrumental break]
[guitar solo with wah-wah and delay effects]
[Verse 4]
It's kind of creepy baby, that look in your eyes
There's nothing worse than love that's gone and headed south-wise
Where you stay is haunted by the girl I knew
And she wanders looking for a life that's already through
She's got the chains a-rattling, she's got the tortured heart
She's got the pieces of a life that's torn all apart
She doesn't know what's happening, can't tell day from night
But she's scared of you too because you're such a fright
[Chorus]
[instrumental break]
[heavy phaser guitar solo with wah-wah and delay effects]
[Verse 5]
It’s kind of creepy baby, how the silence screams
Every shadow’s whispering the wreckage of our dreams
I tried to burn the past, but the ashes still remain
Every spark I strike just ignites you back again
Now the mirror’s cracking, and I don’t know my face
Just a ghost of who I was in your cold embrace
If there’s any mercy, let the darkness take me whole
’Cause the scariest thing you left… is what’s inside my soul
[Chorus]
[instrumental break]
[backwards guitars, with phaser guitar, wah-wah and delay effects]
[Outro]
[instrumental fade out]
[distorted guitar feedback, slowing drum beat]
It's kind of creepy baby
It's kind of creepy baby
It's kind of creepy baby
It's kind of creepy baby
