Alkaline Trio - Cringe Lyrics






wide eyed. knee deep in surprise. just below your thighs the temperature drops 5 degrees. your stand-by flight has just arrived. tongue-tied, bleeding from your eyes. even Christ himself would cringe at the sight of your scars. while you're counting sheep, i'll count my lucky stars. you were the last good thing i ever saw. i lost it all. i lost it all. burned out on 2 hours of shut-eye. eyes glazed at the thought of the next 8 hours. headwind, cold rain to wake me. you were the last good thing i ever saw.

Alkaline Trio Cringe Comments
  1. p.... f....

    You can't really tell anymore cause the improv changed but the singing part during the bridge used to be the chorus melody for the song "5-3? 10-4"

  2. T.... G....

    I fucking love these guys

  3. S.... O....

    Great performance

  4. G.... V....

    ❤❤❤

  5. P.... W....

    I wonder if these guys ever read these comments. This performance is perfect.

  6. f.... ....

    easily one of their best performances of this song ever documented

  7. s.... ....

    And people wonder why Matt took over Blink182

  8. R.... C....

    1:37 Matt's face is like... This sound's fucking good!

  9. G.... ....

    Saw them again at Metro in Chicago. As always, the KILLED it

  10. a.... h....

    Damnn this ia very goodd

  11. M.... M....

    I am in love with Matt

  12. t.... ....

    Dudes got pipes

  13. M.... W....

    Stay in alkaline trio and let Tom come back and clean up the mess 😁🤟🏻

  14. S.... P....

    A legendary performance of this Trio classic.... Mix sounded organic. Sonic orgasm....

  15. p.... ....

    I covered this. I love this song

  16. s.... u....

    este es matt, no el de blink-182...

  17. A.... G....

    I wish the album version was this good

  18. p.... ....

    I like how they've polished this song up. This is my favorite recording of it.

  19. J.... M....

    QUE BUEN TEMA LA RE CONCHA DE LA LORA, SALUDOS A TODOS DESDE ARGENTINA LA POTENCIA FALLIDA DE AMERICA

  20. J.... M....

    Qué hermosa canción. La re puta madre!!!!!!!!

  21. K.... K....

    I just ran a mile in the time it takes to play this twice...4 minutes 48 seconds...this song is adrenaline

  22. L.... I....

    Matt in Alkaline : ohh he's so good bla bla , in blink: oh Matt sucks we want Tom back , I can't understand y'all

    L.... I....

    Tom’s guitar sound is vastly superior. You can’t imitate the spark of an original artist and think you won’t be compared.

    L.... I....

    He doesnt fit well in blink 182, Califórnia cd sucks, i prefer tom delonge

  23. S.... ....

    That was tight.

  24. S.... K....

    This lacks whatever made me like the song in the first place.

  25. M.... K....

    I fucking love this performance, I fucking love this band.

  26. c.... ....

    Love Matt in the new Blink but I'm still hoping to one day see an A3 show. Haven't yet & living so far away from typical tour destinations (near Vancouver) I wonder if they will ever come close but I hope somehow someway I see them. Such a kickass group.

  27. r.... ....

    Pitch corrected to hell and back.... shame.

  28. t.... ....

    There's literally no flaws with this performance. They could release this as a remastered version and nobody would know its live

    t.... ....

    Very true my friend.

  29. D.... B....

    Matt's voice is amazing. Different here than the album version. His voice has changed so much.

  30. B.... W....

    Sometimes I wonder why bands with this much talent don't get noticed.

    B.... W....

    I know right. AK3 deserve so much more credit. They are one of the only GOOD punk bands out there from 90s - present.

    B.... W....

    Considering most bands won't crack 1k views on there music, Alk3 did just fine. They're still within the top 1% of rock bands.

    B.... W....

    Should've stopped singing about the devil so much.
    I have no issue but my friend's at school who loved blink and mxpx shied away from Trio.

    B.... W....

    Lol they're doing just fine and are better off without those dudes listening to em

  31. D.... B....

    I have watched this like 3737474848383 times.

  32. M.... J....

    wow.The best live version of this song.

  33. l.... p....

    I keep coming back to this video simply because of that sick jam session in the middle of the song.

  34. D.... N....

    you were the last good thing I ever saw

  35. r.... ....

    I fucking love Matt

  36. J.... C....

    Alk3 still got it.

  37. b.... ....

    Wow, Matt sounds amazing

  38. C.... G....

    1:37 Skiba fully enjoying himself

  39. D.... N....

    this is so rad ahhh

    Matt's vocals are flawless here

    D.... N....

    D Nelson DeMuglio!

  40. C.... ....

    The way Matt's upper lip touches the microphone at :48 makes me wish I were a mic...

  41. M.... ....

    I didn't know Teddy from Bob's Burgers was in Alkaline Trio!

    M.... ....

    OMG!!! It looks just like Dan! hahaha

    M.... ....

    Thank you

  42. K.... ....

    Where's your Tom now motherfuckerS?

    K.... ....

    producing AVA stuff and Alien hunting as per usual

    K.... ....

    doing gnarly things and making rad music, probably

    K.... ....

    Jhernie Magnampo Probably hyping up his fans with his massive ego saying "Big things are coming" only to lead to another announcement.

    Matt > Tom

    K.... ....

    that's right buddy

    K.... ....

    Gnarly things = Announcing books on instagram
    Rad music = ?????

  43. B.... H....

    This is fucking great

  44. t.... ....

    god I love this motherfucker

    t.... ....

    Hey, if you like Trio you MIGHT like our new songs. Not saying we sound like them at all, but similar style of music and they are a big inspiration among many. :)

  45. G.... I....

    Matt looks super badass here

    G.... I....

    Matt always looks super badass

  46. s.... ....

    Always sounds perfect.

  47. M.... S....

    +Harley Mothersole I have a question! ever since seeing them play this song live I have NO CLUE what he says in the interlude part!!! Can anybody tell me what the hell he is saying!? It sounds so amazing and fits the song so perfectly. I wish they had included those lyrics in the recorded version

    M.... S....

    +MCpjm2 - Live life for ever and midnight. For ever and midnight.

    M.... S....

    +Harley Mothersole Thank you! Do you know where those lyrics come from?

    M.... S....

    +MCpjm2 - I just listened to the words he is singing.

  48. L.... P....

    Anyone knows which Ray Ban's model Matt is using on these performances?

    L.... P....

    RB4178 brown.

  49. V.... S....

    I tried to make it to the end of the video, but I already nutted in my pants at the pickslide.

    V.... S....

    I guess you... lost it all XD

    V.... S....

    We all did!

  50. G.... S....

    I bloody raped the replay button.

  51. d.... _....

    burnt out after two hours of shut eye..

  52. B.... B....

    I truly lost it all.

  53. A.... R....

    Still so much passion. I love it.

  54. T.... T....

    One of the only bands from this era that was so perfect live. Amazing

  55. t.... ....

    Can't get enough of this performance, If they did more than the three songs, I wanna see them! lol This shit is soo tight!

    t.... ....

    traveykat1 they did radio. That's online now

  56. S.... J....

    Rocking a solid yellow gold Rolex Day Date.  Nice.

  57. h.... ....

    killer bass

    h.... ....

    hellobiafra Danny absolutely destroyed that fretboard here! Derek’s drumming is some of the best studio quality skills I’ve ever heard, an absolute robot. Stellar performance by all three, best ever.

  58. K.... ....

    Whaaaaaaaaaaat, this is one kickass performance!

  59. W.... L....

    the impact of this song has changed over the years as these guys get older and the singing isn't as venomously aggressive but it really does still sound amazing

    W.... L....

    And the world is a beautiful place, so I'm no longer afraid to die

    W.... L....

    Yep, in my guess its like the voice of somebody that have archieved what they always strived for, no more teenager ager, more like "a guy who has acomplished his dreams and now is enjoying all of it" kind of voice!

  60. G.... B....

    In my opinion better than the studio version, Matt's vocals are perfect in this version!!!

    G.... B....

    Well figuring this was done in 2013, rather than the album with the song on it came out in like 2000 or so, I would hope his vocals would improve over that time. All in all, this is a great sound for a old song of theirs.

    G.... B....

    the studio version lyrics are a lot grittier and I love that about them, to each their own

    G.... B....

    +SeventhSalutexMTG 1998 that album came out, quite some time ago wouldn't you say? lol

  61. n.... ....

    i had this recorded on my dvr and my mom came over and fucking deleted it. so pissed....i liked to buy a 6 pack, drink and put this guitar center sessions on.

  62. j.... ....

    Man that "lost it all" vocal absolute class

    j.... ....

    jamiesomersuk so impressive

  63. j.... ....

    2.24 of musical bliss, man that felt good

  64. D.... A....

    so good live

  65. A.... B....

    this song is so beautiful along with radio *.*

  66. d.... ....

    Still smashing it.

  67. M.... D....

    Wow, Skiba's vocals are perfect

  68. T.... ....

    They are masters of their own craft!

  69. E.... K....

    This is the best ive heard matts voice in fucking years...

    E.... K....

    dude you said "i highly doubt everything was recorded separately" yet everything you're describing agrees with me. by "separately" i mean multi-tracked. did you think otherwise?

    E.... K....

    Ryan Hayden Though personally I don't think Matt's voice was pitch corrected at all, he's a good singer.

    E.... K....

    Ryan Hayden It sounded like you were saying they went in to a studio and just re-recorded everything one at a time and then lip synced and pretended to play over it, haha

    E.... K....

    i'm sorry you misunderstood. it's an obvious fact they played this song live. but technically speaking they did record each instrument individually, mixed and edited the performance, which absolutely includes pitch correcting their voices, and then re-synced it (dubbed) it back over the original video.

    E.... K....

    Ryan Hayden I get what you're saying now, basically the same thing as me just worded differently.

  70. E.... F....

    It's there, but the guitar really sounds louder than the bass, which usually is easy to be perceived in the alkaline trio mix.

  71. G.... ....

    DAT GOLD WATCH THO

  72. F.... C....

    it seems my blood has just arrived...

  73. B.... C....

    Were there only 3 songs from this set?

  74. K.... T....

    @smoss469 he could just be using that as a main head, still using the cabs but just for the pro Jr. I agree tho it is funny looking

  75. d.... ....

    Best version of Cringe. Ever.

  76. F.... F....

    the vocals are absolutely beautiful

  77. s.... ....

    Makes you wonder why Matt brought his full Amp rig since it looks like he's playing through a Pro Jr.

  78. S.... ....

    It's there, your hearing is just awful.

  79. C.... U....

    Where is the bass in this mix?!?!

  80. M.... ....

    Compared to "To the Grammy"-Version here on yt - dis sounds ten Times better !!!

  81. h.... ....

    It's a refinished Fender Jaguar Special HH they are normally only in available in black

  82. t.... ....

    GODDAMMIT this is so fucking good! gives me the chills<3 so thankful that Alkaline Trio exists.

  83. C.... ....

    Does anyone know what kind of guitar Matt is playing? That is just straight up sexy!

  84. h.... ....

    agreed. this was awesome. I went to the 2009 show where they played the whole goddamnit... but I think the A3 is just getting better with age.

  85. M.... C....

    Idc what anyone says this is amazing. I wish they would do all of goddammit like this just to see what it sounds like. And "forever at midnight" toooo gooddd

  86. A.... ....

    i've heard them do it original tuning recently. it's still just as good. he could have just been having an off day.. it happens.

  87. S.... G....

    Probably to do with their voices getting lower. Doubt the vocals would've been that good if it was in the original tuning.

  88. A.... R....

    There's def something helping him here but I've seen his performance improve a lot lately.

  89. A.... S....

    I didn't say This Addiction was safe, nor MSIT, I meant the vocals weren't over ambitious ('Help Me' is a prime example) for his range and age. No doubt he did well here and on the new album, but I still think he's got help here.

  90. A.... S....

    I don't watch too many Live videos but if you're referring to albums, My shame is true was much more 'safe' for Skiba.. compare it to Agony & Irony where he's all over the shop.

  91. P.... G....

    i think its one of the most well mixed alkaline trio's videos . and the guitar sounds f****g massivE!

  92. A.... R....

    "Feels like forever at midnight... Forever at midnight!"

  93. t.... ....

    half a step down but not too shabby

  94. A.... S....

    Your point?

  95. M.... ....

    I NEED MORE SONGS ! Alk3 for life <3

  96. B.... J....

    i trust my ears so much i know when there is an autotune or not.

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

    Yes, I´m pretty sure they´re both using some vocal fixing live, watch the performance on The grammys, he sounds too good .

  98. J.... S....

    I really like the mixing on this video, but I wish I had heard the bass a little better. From what I could tell listening through my laptop speakers, there was a lot of guitar, a fair amount of drums, and a good balance between Matt and Dan's vocals, but I couldn't hear Dan's bass at all. It's a little bit better through headphones, but not by much.

    It's a shame: "Cringe" is my favorite Trio song but all the live videos I've seen of it that are "pro audio" sound like crap. =\

  99. A.... S....

    There is no way Skiba can sing that good. Autotune, but it was a good performance.
