Cheats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've seen your world and it's crumbling down
I'll beg off contemplating
If I should stay when it crumbles down
I don't wanna waste my time in love
I know that I waste my time enough
They barely breathe so it's not so bad
They'll try to seep in sideways
My wall's so thick that it fills the gaps
I hear them talk
You gotta get back
I hear them talk
You gotta get back
I hear them talk
You gotta get back
I hear them talk
But it's crumbling
I don't wanna waste my time in love
I know that I waste my time
I don't wanna waste my time in love
I know that I waste my time enough
Dreaming of a weekend, one that never stops
I know I'll go back there even when it stops
When the world is crumbling, I'll still be intact
When the world's rebuilding it won't take me back
I don't wanna waste my time alone
I know that I waste my time
I don't wanna waste my time alone
I know that I waste my time enough
The lyrics for Cheats's song Crumble paint a picture of a person who is detached from the world around them. The singer sees the world crumbling down, but they do not seem to be affected by it. They are unapologetically introspective, choosing to focus on their own life rather than the problems of the world. However, there is a sense of being lost in the lyrics, as if the singer is not quite sure where they belong. They seem hesitant to commit to anything or anyone, as seen in the lines, "I'll beg off contemplating, if I should stay when it crumbles down."
The lyrics are repeated throughout the song, adding to the impression of the singer's detachment from the world around them. The repetition of phrases like "I don't wanna waste my time in love, I know that I waste my time enough" shows a sense of resignation or apathy. The singer feels like they have wasted time in the past and want to avoid doing so again, even if it means avoiding love or connection.
In many ways, Crumble is a song about being lost and disconnected. It speaks of a person who is trying to find their way in the world but is struggling to do so. The imagery of the world crumbling down suggests that the singer sees a future that is uncertain and chaotic, and they are hesitant to engage with it. Overall, the lyrics reveal a sense of emptiness and apathy, but also a desire to be free from the world's problems.

If I should stay when it crumbles down
If it falls apart, should I still stick around?
I don't wanna waste my time in love
I don't want to invest my time in a romantic relationship
I know that I waste my time enough
I already squander enough of my time
I've drowned out long lost lovers
I have forgotten former significant others
They barely breathe so it's not so bad
They barely survive, so it's not too upsetting
They'll try to seep in sideways
They will attempt to enter subtly
My wall's so thick that it fills the gaps
My emotional barrier is so strong that it covers any lapses
I hear them talk
You gotta get back
I hear them saying that I need to reconcile with my ex-partners
But it's crumbling
However, everything is falling apart
Dreaming of a weekend, one that never stops
I fantasize about a never-ending weekend
I know I'll go back there even when it stops
I realize I'll revisit that notion, even when it's impossible
When the world is crumbling, I'll still be intact
If the world dissolves, I will remain unaffected
When the world's rebuilding it won't take me back
Even if the world repairs itself, I won't return to how things were
I don't wanna waste my time alone
I'd rather not waste my time by myself
I know that I waste my time
I do acknowledge that I misuse my time
I don't wanna waste my time alone
But I still don't want to waste it by myself
I know that I waste my time enough
I really do waste a lot of my time
