Mothercreep
FKA twigs Lyrics

The lyrics to FKA twigs's song mothercreep are emotionally charged and enigmatic. The singer opens up about her struggles with identity, particularly her inability to find her mother. She sings, "I don't know who my mother is, but I creep for you", emphasizing her longing to find her mother. The repetition of "creep, mothercreep, mothercreep" adds an eerie and disturbing feel to the song, hinting at the potential dangers of searching for a mother who is not yet known.

The song then shifts to discuss FKA twigs's desire for belonging and home. She sings, "Moments in change, I'm still chasing, I'll be home soon". The repetition of "creep, mothercreep, mothercreep" again adds to the eerie, almost stalker-like quality of the song, suggesting that FKA twigs may be willing to do anything to find her sense of home.

The second half of the song changes perspective, as FKA twigs seems to be addressing her own mother, saying "hit me with your hands, double knot my throat, mother". The lyrics become more aggressive and violent, yet the underlying theme of longing and searching remains. FKA twigs pushes the limits of what it means to search for a lost mother, both emotionally and physically, in order to find a sense of belonging.
