Asking Alexandria - Creature Lyrics






Deep in the shadows I'm fighting a battle
The creature wants me screaming, screaming
I think I'm losing, tired of choosing, I'm slipping down
I can't stop screaming, screaming

I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me
Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust to sin
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world
If I let it out I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too

I can't just turn to the menace I've clung to
The creature wants me screaming, screaming
I can't determine, I'm sure that it's hell bent on breaking out and
Hearing you screaming, screaming

I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me
Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust to sin
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world
If I let it out I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too

So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world
If I let it out I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too

I can't hold back [x3]

So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from you
If I let it out I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too

So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world
If I let it out I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too

  19. L.... A....

    chingon xdxdxdx

  20. A.... ....

    sound a bit like nightwish the intro! but it's asking alexandria

  21. s.... e....

    in the end I will be dead center

  22. W.... A....

    Anyone know the name of the few songs they put out? I came across them before but they're hard to find. Idk if they're secret songs from one of the album but for the life of me I can't remember the name of them. They're heavy as fuck though

  23. a.... ....

    This song reminds me of the concept of the "God shaped void" and how we all try to fill it with different things

  24. b.... ....

    am I the only one who's feeling Slipknot vibes? not only in this song, but in the whole 'from death to destiny' album?

    b.... ....

    banjo32 probably considering they don't sound like slipknot

  25. B.... B....

    Personally I think they made better songs with Danny, but I do enjoy Denis' voice a tad more. Don't get me wrong though, Danny's voice is killer!

  26. D.... 9....

    i know danny back for good

  27. b.... ....

    4 more days and I am seeing them!!! Asking Alexandria rules!!

  28. m.... j....

    Band shit :v

    m.... j....

    marcello junior Wanna know what is shit honey? Youre a fucking big shit !If you dont like this pls go away and fuck yourself ....ohh sorry I forgot you are a shit

  29. M.... ....

    This song sounds like skillet XD

    M.... ....

    TheGuitarist_Dude true! a heavier version of skillet

    M.... ....

    Oh, I wondered why I like these songs without the screams. They really do!

  30. I.... ....

    this song reminds me of devilman for some reason

  31. A.... G....

    If Danny was still in AA, I'd still listen to them.. I like the old songs but since Danny left their music is not as good....

    A.... G....

    Guess who's back.

  32. M.... R....

    https://www.facebook.com/AnonymousLegionVnz?fref=ts

  33. J.... B....

    Best álbum

  34. J.... J....

    This sounds nothing like AA

    J.... J....

    +Jacob Martinez they changed, big deal

    J.... J....

    +JT Mann Not that they changed. I dont mess with this album much cause i like the heavier stuff from them. All im sayin. Dont get your panties in a wad

    J.... J....

    @Jacob Martinez I said like 4 words and I'm getting my "panties in a wad", lmao and either way this album is still heavy, just bc it doesn't sound like their generic older stuff doesn't mean it's not good

    J.... J....

    +JT Mann I never said it wasnt good

    J.... J....

    @Jacob Martinez idk I just misunderstood bc you say ti doesn't sound like them. And ever since their new album came out it's like whenever ppl said that it was always them pretty much saying the band sucks now

  35. K.... Q....

    Why does it sound like Slipknot's Psychosocial? I mean... The intro's similar to Slipknot's song or idk

    K.... Q....

    it's the drums ;P

    K.... Q....

    Kalei Quinn I don't hear it:/

  36. G.... B....

    This song has a feel of A7X to it

    G.... B....

    Yeah, white line fever, break down the walls and don't pray for me sounds like a7x as well

    G.... B....

    RedFawkes3 dannys raspy vocals or the song in general?

  37. G.... a....

    with a name like creature I would've expected a whole song of growls and screams im not disappointed I really like this song im just saying

  38. A.... A....

    2:12 oml, the mosh pit at this point tho

  39. A.... A....

    this songs intro is amazing

  40. D.... S....

    If Danny was still in AA , He could keep his screams short and try more melodic singing and Ben could add more guitar solos. AA would be selling dozens of records

    D.... S....

    @Dr Galactus​ Yea he is officially back in AA, idk all the details tho.

    D.... S....

    Dr Redpill more like don't scream at all.

    D.... S....

    That’s why they are doing it now, love it

    D.... S....

    Danny worsnop came back for the current self titled album...

    D.... S....

    You my friend predicted the future

  41. j.... F....

    I always loved the orchestral accompaniment in most of the songs, it fits so damn well.

    j.... F....

    jake Farero It seems as if they took inspiration from symphonic metal

  42. S.... A....

    the best Rock \m/

  43. Y.... ....

    Sounds like a Nickelback - Hero

    Y.... ....

    +Jose Luis Lopez I know right!!!! Especially from 2:14 to 2:41.....dude,that Chad guy or whatever their singer´s name is,would blow his fucking throat to pieces if he tried that

    Y.... ....

    I say the chorus

    Y.... ....

    @Jose Luis Lopez well you didn´t write anything about chorus,so sorry lol

  44. T.... X....

    C'est ce AA que je veux revoir , danny reviens :(

  45. M.... G....

    2:27 love that part

    M.... G....

    Mickey Grandia im convinced that danny is a lion from hell

  46. R.... T....

    El putoamismo que tal

  47. G.... V....

    muitofoda essa musica...

  48. a.... o....

    another song that I love... AA is AWESOME

  49. D.... S....

    I used to listen all their songs but some bitch stole my mp3.....

    D.... S....

    Maybe you should buy the cd

    D.... S....

    @Diego Santana spotify?

  50. A.... S....

    But what the fuck does he scream at 2:13?

    A.... S....

    I'm pretty sure it's "I can't hold back *growl*"

    A.... S....

    @Atomic Spaceman "I can't hold back"

    A.... S....

    @Atomic Spaceman "i can't hold that back"

    A.... S....

    I can't hold it back

  51. M.... N....

    Avenged sevenfold is that you?

    M.... N....

    A7x ♥️

  52. T.... C....

    Such an underrated song

  53. D.... w....

    :3 Asking Alexandria 

  54. D.... A....

    are they talking about a demon? 

  55. s.... l....

    The first part before the lyrics come in sound like video game boss music any gamers here agree?

    s.... l....

    +shadow larose agreed

  56. J.... V....

    cool bye

  57. T.... E....

    Jack black is that you singing ?

  58. r.... ....

    Can people just _stop_ whining about AA's newer stuff? It's a horse long dead beaten. Stop going on and on about it.

    r.... ....

    @Chris Sauter No. Tell me tell me tell me!

    r.... ....

    @Chris Sauter Oh yeah I've been to a teen version of that.

    r.... ....

    youre everywhere o.o

    r.... ....

    @Chris Sauter im not sure if i should laugh or freak out 

    r.... ....

    do you have cookies there? 

  59. A.... S....

    I fucking LOVE Asking Alexandria! I saw them at MayHam!! they where amazing! but THE Mosh pits where FUCKING AMAZING!!

  60. S.... S....

    I think that this is the album that they put their heart and soul in. Something like Cold and the Year of the Spider. Or Sevendust animosity. Both great albums and u can feel that they put everything they had into those albums. Great album.

  61. b.... ....

    This was a big comeback from their last album "Reckless & Relentless".

  62. M.... B....

    More songs like this AA!

  63. P.... ....

    sounds like a7x on steroids 

  64. a.... c....

    My all time favorite bands are Pantera, Kreator, Overkill, White Zombie, and Asphyx.
    But then again, some of my other favourites are Asking Alexandria, Miss May I, Suicide Silence, and As I lay Dying.
    I also thoroughly enjoy CCR, The Cars, Steve Miller Band, and the Eagles
    I love music, all types of music, even a lot of "mainsteam" songs. "Metalheads" who preach so hard that every metal core band is fake music and you can only listen to underground bands and thrash/grind/groove/death/doom metal have less balls then bands they make fun of like this. All music is good music as long as you have a passion for it. And in my opinion, people with open minds and listen to all different genres have the real passion for music. But then again its trendy to make fun of the people who listen to metal core right? Good lord...

    a.... c....

    aspen carter I agree. Oh and btw, if someone says they're a "metalhead" and then shit on people who love metalcore...they probably called themself a metalhead because they've heard enter sandman...tragic.

  65. A.... T....

    The lyrics to this song sound like a guy who's struggling really hard to take a shit.

    A.... T....

    I ' M C R Y I N G
    That is sO FUNNY

  66. r.... ....

    I love this album because the band made themselves vulnerable by putting their addiction experiences just out there.

    r.... ....

    @Andrew fukurmom man xD you really don't have a life do you?

    r.... ....

    oh yeah, i'm all four

    r.... ....

    You guys are funny. xD

    r.... ....

    Hey guess what? The band said this album was terrible in a recent interview. Get rekt

    r.... ....

    are we even still arguing about this shit

  67. R.... A....

    This is awesome this album is my favorite

  68. M.... D....

    Just another wannabe metal band trying to get in the pants of their 14 year old fangirls. Keep it up, guys. A nice little jail cell awaits you soon.

    M.... D....

    Wow, why don't you actually look up their past songs and compare them to this new album? Hear the difference? Yeah, it's because the lead singer decided to change his life around. They aren't a "wannabe" anything. They have a new sound that they like, so why doesn't everybody just hop off his dick. And btw, I don't think he's trying to get in any fangirls pants seeming as he has a hot ass girlfriend with an amazing fucking body.. Js, you should really learn your shit before putting ignorant ass comments out on the internet

    M.... D....

    @Chianne Fay I made this comment so I could see people like you look like morons. Well, not you, since you didn't tell me to kill myself violently.

    M.... D....

    this thread was very entertaining to read

    M.... D....

    I dunno, this was a little harsh of me. I deserved what I got on this one xD

    M.... D....

    MockingAsshole Discusses lol

  69. A.... k....

    I just saw them in concert recently, and his voice sounds very good live. He can scream the same way he did back in The Final Episode days. Sooo good live. Had a lot of fun!

  70. H.... H....

    That intro!

  71. B.... N....

    Do people actually prefer old AA?
    Danny sounds like a prepubescent teen in the others, he actually sounds like a man in this and it's amazing.
    10/10 best AA album.

    B.... N....

    Banana Nut I personally love all the albums they have with Danny as the vocalist. How he can sing so clear but yet growl and scream amazingly always gets me going. So amazing imo.

    B.... N....

    Banana Nut all AA rocks. truthfuly i can say theres not one song i dont like by them .

    B.... N....

    Banana Nut definitely man

    B.... N....

    Cole Deansy how sad .

    B.... N....

    Bailey Davies-prout lol you must like sleeping With Sirens

  72. D.... S....

    Personally I find this an amazing album, it really speaks to me. It explains everything I feel, and have gone through and currently am going through. It feels like AFA is reading my life like a book haha. HAIL ASKING FUCKING ALEXANDRIA

  73. S.... K....

    Love it! :* ♥ ★ ♥ ♡ ☆ ♡

  74. D.... O....

    In all honesty this is better then other two yeah they don't do unclean vocals as much but it doesn't take away from the fact that they put a lot of themselves into the music! Which isn't that why you'd make music?

  75. D.... B....

    Danny said in one of his interviews that they dont want to make same album 3x in a row, since SUAS and R&R are pretty much the same with the sounds they wanted to make something new and this album is great just like the rest of the songs/albums

  76. B.... S....

    @Havoren, I saw them live on the From Death to Destiny tour and they played a lot of old material and Danny did a pretty good job. Couldn't even tell his vocal chords have been torn and what not.

  77. D.... ....

    This reminds me of The Incredible Hulk (2008)

  78. E.... H....

    They better not play this weak shit at Best Buy Theatre.

    E.... H....

    @Eric Herrera his vocal chords healed.

    E.... H....

    @MsRustyknife
    Now we can all forget this crap.

    E.... H....

    @Eric Herrera He still sings lower than he used to

    E.... H....

    @Kasper Krawford
    Beats this anyway

  79. D.... M....

    Bring back the sound from R&R, good ground on that album. In MY opinion

  80. X.... ....

    Really love how AA took a more theatrical approach in this new album. Reminds me of Metallica in some aspects its a really nice touch, keep up the work guys you're doin awesome work!

  81. m.... d....

    the best álbum

  82. P.... ....

    I prefer AA's heavier stuff like SUAS and R&R but i like this album as well

    P.... ....

    @xllchicollx not heavy? How so? There was heavy parts in that album. It's all in comparison. It's heavy compared to nickelback, and this stuff. But at the same time not AS heavy as a death metal band. It's all in what you like.

    P.... ....

    THANK YOU. SOMEONE WHO FINALLY FEELS THE SAME WAY!!!! @Piercetheveilbaby99 

    P.... ....

    this album has alot of heavy parts. its just not as heavy throughout the songs as the previous albums

    P.... ....

    @ScarletCord95 no one said it was heavier than death metal dumbass.

  83. D.... C....

    Wonderful!

  84. E.... ....

    I fucking love AA, I love there old stuff and new stuff. I fucking live them so much

    E.... ....

    YESSS HIGH FIVE!!! *high fives you cx*

  85. A.... F....

    The riff sounds a little like slipknot.

  86. D.... C....

    I'm living a lie.....there's a creature hiding inside of me

  87. J.... L....

    I personally love the songs where there is break downs all through out the song lol..

    As a musician.. I loved listening to their older stuff cause it was different (to me at least).. going to their shows and just ripping it up.

    I dont like how soft it is now.. but to each is own.

    I love all music btw. Not biased to one type. Just liked his older stuff

  88. J.... T....

    I really love the new album. It seems much more mature for me, and just all around better since every other riff isn't a break down. I can really dig it now.

  89. K.... ....

    I hate the people on here who keep talking shit to people saying that they prefer AA's old stuff. I prefer their old stuff too. And yes, I know Danny screwed up his vocals. I liked the heavier breakdowns and screams in Stand Up And Scream and Reckless And Relentless. 

  90. J.... T....

    this song is awesome

  91. S.... H....

    I love the growling and the gruffness of his voice. Brilliant song ^^

  92. S.... V....

    I swear my favorite thing about his voice is the growling noise that's mixed into it.  I love it so much

    S.... V....

    That would be a rasp. If that's what you're referring to.

    S.... V....

    @MyHeartBroken2012
    Thank you.  Didn't know the word so I tried my best  :3

    S.... V....

    Haha it's all good. and you're welcome.

  93. s.... o....

    They went through puberty again

  94. B.... A....

    Sounds like country rock now...the fuck AA

    B.... A....

    +B.C Rich lol "country" have u ever even heard country music? This is fucking rock and roll!

  95. N.... ....

    00 055330 3 0

  96. K.... S....

    From Death seems like a very approachable album. I think I like this sound that they're trying out. It'll never replace Stand Up And Scream, of course, but it's a good listen all the same.

    K.... S....

    its not supposed to replace it, it's supposed to succeed it. it's a different and more advanced album that leans toward a more mature sound. most people who prefer the pop/rock/metalcore sound will prefer stand up and scream and most people who like hard rock/heavy metal will prefer this album

    K.... S....

    I think you misinterpreted what I was trying to say. I meant the album wouldn't replace SUAS for me, personally, due to the memories tied to it and what I was going through while getting acquainted with it. R&R is pretty damn good, too. I'm not all that familiar with it yet, though.

  97. M.... S....

    Screaming,screaming ! :D

  98. C.... S....

    You are a monster Danny! :) I love AA \m/ and hopefully i will get the chance to see you here in philippines at PULP Summer Slam 2014.Amazing fucking band :))))
