Cheekface – The Fringe (lyric video)

Me and Panic woke up together
This is not one night, no it is forever
I will make breakfast (avocado toast)
You'll be father, son and the holy freaking ghost

I was just awarded my advanced degree
Now I'm in a band making musique concrète
Dishwasher tumbles dry a Pringles can
Sounds about as good no matter where you stand

Success is cringe! Success is cringe!
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe

Me and Panic wearing really big shirts
Looking for others wearing really big shirts
Carving massive nudes out of cold mayonnaise
Guess there's no accounting for taste ...

Opening night at my gallery show,
"A Personal History of My Runny Nose"
A towering achievement in aesthetic design
The critics don't like it, they are here for the wine

Success is cringe! Success is cringe!
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe

I want to be on the fringe
F-R-I-N-G, the fringe
F-R-I-N-G, the fringe

I want to be on the fringe
F-R-I-N-G, the fringe
F-R-I-N-G, the fringe

I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe

He wants to be on the fringe, I want to be on the fridge. We are not the same.

[jordontp]

my cheekface tattoo started throbbing and oozing when i listened to this!
i think that's good?

[kylegordon]

Now That's What I Call Cheekface!

[Paul_K_]

"Dishwasher tumbles dry a Pringles can" is so poetic. A phrase that—despite containing just 6 words— has never been used before in human history, it's immediately stimulating and beautiful before your brain even parses it to decide what it means.

[frtfrolic]

i wanna be on (own) the fringe (jacket)

[MattiasPilhede]

I was out on a walk singing this song to myself and stopped to think "wait, did I get those lyrics right?", and yep, I sure did.

[ValueForValue]

Once in awhile a perfect song comes along, this is one of those. It’ll still be interesting and fun in 30 years. Great song writing guys!

[sealiondaydream]

I agree! The fringe is a chill place to hang out

[Tournesol_en_moquette]

Came here thanks to a nichijou edit, why are there so few views ?! Loving the rhythm and ambiance

[guardianofpineapple]

Always an amazing day when there's a new Cheekface song!!!!

[ethannorman]

Does anyone else get the feeling he wants to be on the fringe? Or is that just me?

[DJLEGS]

Can't wait until Cheekface shows up to my house and mows my lawn.

[Death-gjdn]

[snas-is-ness]

I love how half of the comments are from trans ppl. Imagine a very small band's fans having more rep than genshin

[adeldell]

Success is indeed cringe; It's better to chase it forever than have it with a side of emptiness.

[glubbaglubba]
