    Lyrics:
    Lover come over
    Look what I've done
    I've been alone so long, I feel like I'm on the run
    Lover come over, kick up the dust
    I've got a secret starting to rust
    She said I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
    She said my spirit doesn't move like it did before
    She said that I don't look like me no more, no more
    I said I'm just tired
    She said: you're just high
    And I said I saw you in the water
    And I said I saw you in the water
    Lover come hold me
    Heads on the fritz
    Gaudy intoxicated feelings comfortably mixed
    Lover come hold me, could you forget
    I've got a secret, digging a dent
    She said I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
    She said my spirit doesn't move like it did before
    She said that I don't look like me no more, no more
    I said I'm just tired
    She said: you're just high
    And I said I saw you in the water
    And I said I saw you in the water
    Sweating all your sins out
    Putting all your thoughts back together
    Oh, we just don't blend now
    All of my attempts seem to weather
    Oh, I make you cringe now
    Don't I make you cringe?
    Oh, I make you cringe now
    Don't I make you cringe?
    She said I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
    She said my spirit doesn't move like it did before
    She said that I don't look like me no more, no more
    I said I'm just tired
    She said I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
    She said my spirit doesn't move like it did before
    She said that I don't look like me no more, no more
    I said I'm just tired
    She said: you're just high
    And I said I saw you in the water
    (Do I make you cringe?)
    And I said I saw you in the water
    (Do I make you cringe?)
    And I said I saw you in the water
    (Do I make you cringe?)
    And I said I saw you in the water
    (Do I make you cringe?)

    This og felt hard like this song speaks the truth about how the people that look down on you or turn their backs on you for committing sin are often the ones who committed worse how people get ostracized just by the way they live,talk,act ect

      Heard it for the first time this morning. Never heard of him or his music before, but this just hit the right way. Been on repeat since this morning. Haven't listened to a song on repeat in who knows how many years. I'm a metal head so kinda natural I might not hear of him, but ironically his parents were in a Christian rock band back in the day. No coincidences. Can't wait to check out the rest of his stuff.

      I can completely understand, I have as well. A person gets tired of being disappointed and Hurt so it's better to withdraw from everyone. People are just down right Rude as Hell and only think about themselves and what they may gain from You. It's very sad but True.

    What stands out most i this emotionally raw and gritty song of beauty and pain, abandonment and reaching out - is that despite all the pain and destruction , there is always hope to living up to the way YOU want to be - not the way others want you to be - but what feels best to you , with less pain.

    I would have never considered giving a song like this a second glance but the lyrics and meaning have resonated with me over the last few days as I've begun my recovery. The last moments of the video are especially meaningful: The only real hope he has to save himself, is in WANTING to be saved. Only you can pull yourself out of the cycle of addiction. You can't do it for anybody else, only yourself. This I've learned. In the process I've come to appreciate how great this song really is. Good luck to anybody else in recovery.

    “Cringe” is about being pushed away by the people you care about because of the lifestyle you live. I lived pretty rough for a while, and some of the people I really cared about would rather tell me how wrong I was rather than ask how I was doing. That’s the short version, anyway.

    Thank you for such an amazing song. "Do I make you cringe?" It's so profound. I hear that and look back on my own life. I see all the things that I did or said, who I hurt and are mortified or angry about them. I can see them with clarity, and I grit my teeth. How could I have done that? Said that? I know that it's a sign I'm improving, but it's still hard to do.

    He has convinced himself that others are committing villainous acts, and he is the hero standing up to them, when actually, he is running from the reality that he is the monster. Occasionally this truth catches up to him and he is consumed with guilt and self-hatred. The music video makes one wonder if they're truly the hero in their own narrative.

And that's the thing that I love about art; because no matter how you interpret it and no matter what way it may have been intended by the artist, you're never really wrong, regardless. Anyone can find a connection with any art form and with any individual piece, and no matter what, it's the right one.

    As a former addict so much of Matt’s music speaks to me. Were the same age and we fell into addiction at around the same time in our lives. He gets it. He’s lived the life and if you haven’t been down that road there’s no way you could put those emotions and experiences into words and lyrics like he does. I relate to these songs so much that sometimes it brings tears to my eyes. I wasn’t a good person then and I can say that now I’m better than that person I used to be.

    Even with the pain, it's such a powerful, nostalgic song. So thank you Matt Maeson

    Great song. I can relate to this song so strongly. I, too, was raised in a very Christian environment and as an adult it has effected me in many different ways. This song rings true when it comes to lifelong friends and family who turn their backs on you, based on your shitty decisions. Thank god true love doesn’t have those frivolous prerequisites.

      I was brought up in a materialistic family that believes your value and worth is a dollar amount. I tried being what they wanted me to be, but I just wasn't happy. I was never going to be good enough because anytime I tried to crawl out of the hole I was in they were there to kick me back down. I had to finally let them all go in order to be happy. I only wish I had done so before they had a chance to mess up my daughters head the way they did mine.
      I was raised Christian also and was taught to forgive... it took a long time to learn that forgiving doesn't mean you have to let someone keep being a part of your life. I might forgive them for what they did, but I won't let them do it again. It doesn't matter if what I am doing with my life doesn't make me hundreds of thousands of dollars - it makes me happy.
      I own and operate a Senior Cat Sanctuary. I save cats that are over 10 years old from being euthanized simply because very few people want to adopt older cats. I built the cats their own heated and air conditioned house with fully fenced playyards out in the peacefulness of my country farm. They have everything a cat could want and I have everything I want. MY 9TH LIFE.

      It just breaks my heart that some people don't take their responsibility for the life of another as serious as it should be. Be it a pet, a child, or any life... we have a responsibility to care for others especially when we willingly take on that responsibility. So many just push their responsibility to someone else when they decide their own life would be easier without another life to care and provide for.
      When you see something needs to be done and you do nothing it makes one empty inside.
      To love, and be loved in return... there is simply nothing better.
      I work hard and I make good money. I choose to not spend what I've earned, nor my time, proving anything to anyone. I'm sure I make some people cringe, but it doesn't bother me because I am happy with who I am.

    Cringe reminds me of how it feels to watch someone you love struggle in the "water" knowing it just might kill them. Then jumping in to save them only to realize they are pulling you under every time you offer to help.
    Our daughter needed at least one of us to make it. Yes, you make me cringe, but I will always love you. And as Phil Collins points out, "the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows. It's no stranger to you and me". I realize we are both hurting. I hope one day you can still forgive me for being the mother I needed to be. As I understand your pain, please understand mine.

Your mind is spinning but not because your main lining Coke today, only because you remembered why you hate this or why you hate that! I feel sorry for you but love that you turn your pain into a wonderful, amazingly timed, chaotic but measured energy that drives your musical endeavors. Lyrically gifted, pulling at my own soul, when the song ends, it grabs on and never let’s go.

    "she said my spirit doesn't move like it did before" i have known several people addicted to drugs and this is a common theme with something their loved ones say to them. They call them a shell of themselves, a shadow. I was listening to this song and that line really hit me as a person frustrated with a loved one who was addicted to drugs. I didn't really hear the line "you're just high" I thought she was just repeating him. I really like this song and how he expresses being turned away from people who preach about doing the opposite because people do this all the time to be perceived as good people but have no follow through. They pay lip service to saying they would help those in need but when the time comes they are anywhere else or watching from a distance and talking about you with their friends.

      i agree, but in your opinion how a friend or s close person to the addict react to that addict action, i agree that they should be there for them to help instead of abandon them, but what if that addict isn't showing any signs that they're looking for help and they are just becoming a bad version of themselves what should the friend do in this case

      @emilyanne3973 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@GGG_3 I mean a person has to help themselves in the end but there are exceptions to that rule. You can try to talk to them and tell them you care and that you're worried about them but in the end you can't force someone to get help. There is the chance that what is preventing them from getting help is a mental health disorder or illness though so that should be considered. If they're a danger to themselves or others you can call emergency but thats only if it's an emergency. Otherwise I recommend joining alanon so you can deal with how you are struggling with your loved one handling substance abuse issues and the lack of control you have over that. That's what I did.

    Heard this song on Alt Nation on Sirius XM, and instantly fell in love. I heard some more of your music on Spotify, and I’m an instant fan. You’re doing great, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. 🙂 Keep the bops coming.

    one of the best songs I've ever heard, and I'm wondering why it took so long for me to hear this amazing song.
