Cheekface – Hard Mode lyric video

Lyric video by Lenore Melo

sloganeering at the disco
kindness is laughter or whatever
you've got an expert reputation and everyone is looking up to you

did you enjoy the novelty and then move on?
I, of course, love that for you
what are you moving on to?

I like learning just not the hard way, play it again
you like playing your life on hard mode, play it again
a little friendly competition is healthy as long as I win
it's just something I learned the hard way
play it again play it again play it again

you built the future of tomorrow
and then it hit you like a hard thing:
the crosswalk button never crosses
the squeaky grease will get the wheel

who's following who? who's following who?
were you following me?
thought I was following you ...

Thank you for choosing Cheekface

[litchorsomething]

Heard this son one time and now "A little friendly competition is healthy, as long as I win" is stuck in my head

[restfelll]

No one has gotten more out of their storyblocks subscription then cheekface

[Worsteverything]

omg it's almost like every time something bad happens in my life you guys release a new song. thank you for giving me joy during my hardest times <3

[lunchmeat]

A new cheekface single in the morning? What an above average day.

[gothtarrare]

My finger slipped and selected this banger, and I've never been happier for an accidental misclick. Gotta check out your other bangers.

[crunchylettuce]

I like how cheekface songs don't make a whole lot of sense as a greater narrative but there are isolated segments and sentences that are so real they make me smile and nod and then my neurons explode

[sdtrask]

Classic stock music video! My favorite!

[lazybones]

Grateful to see Cheekface drop new peak before bed. 🙏

[tangramman]

Lenore truly outdid themselves with this video

This would be a lot of fun to sing with live, i hope you come up to Canada again soon

[clb]

Everyone say "thank you cheekface"

[glenberls]

The absolute most fun I've ever had at a live show

[ddrussianinja]

Anyone else getting some Death Cab vibes off this one? It suits them!

[Ellisian]

My coworker and I jam out to your music whenever the day's getting a bit long or the politics of the hour are a bit depressing, and it always revitalises us 🥰 Oh, and ofc your music cheeks our faces VERY much. Thank you for your art!!!

[kylegordon]

I reached down for my bootstraps but instead I just wrote BORN TO CHILL on them

[hitchhikerari]

another certified banger from the cheekiest of faces

[mushroomsoda]

another win for the cheekfaces of the world

[andrewhenry]

First. Can't wait to see you guys in January!

[adrianam.]

Brb memorizing the clapping sections so i can get hype at the barricade

[dylanlee]

Almost went to bed but couldn't until I get my Cheek fix and if I'm tried tomorrow I'll just listen to this banger again and feel fine with it

[sillyratman]

OOH NEW CHEEKFACE DROP!! :0 are my faces cheeked?? (trick question: they totally are!!)
