Hey Matt
Produced, Arranged, Composed and Performed by Darren Hayes
Mixed by Trevor Yasuda
Mastered by Mike Bozzi
Hey Matt
I got something I wanna tell you
If you’re there pick up
It’s no big deal I’m just so lonely
You see I had a dream last night my entire life washed up
There was a terrible flood, the Ventura Freeway was covered in my stuff
Hey Matt
The water carried all my secrets
Sifting through the muck I saw my dirty little grievances And the memories I killed
All the shameful feelings spilled
Lay bare on the asphalt
Broken parts I thought I’d drowned real good
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin Poison seeping into my brain until the only thing to remain
Is the last bit of innocence
I hope I can save it
I hope I can save it
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin
Hey Matt
You know the monsters in the ocean?
It turns out they’re real
Guess they were underneath the surface
Tailing me like a shark getting dizzy and drunk on my blood
And all this time they were deep beneath the wave that used to carry me on high
Hey Matt
I’m stranded on a traffic island
Six car pile up and flashing lights so many sirens
I don’t recognize my skin or the bones that creak within I am tired all the time
A sexless, frail, scared and weak little man
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin Poison seeping into my brain until the only thing to remain
Is the last bit of innocence
I hope I can save it
I hope I can save it
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin
Hey Matt
I’m somewhere on the 101 South
I guess I broke down
There’s bits of plastic and glass all around
And it cuts into my feet
And this mud is sickeningly sweet
But what the flood dredged up doesn’t seem so bad under tungsten lights
Hey Matt
I think I’m gonna cut my losses
Cause when I look at this stuff there’s nothing left I wanna process
There’s some hurt and revenge I could take
And my Daddy issues still ache
But they’re just so heavy I think I’ll leave them here for someone else to claim To claim
To claim
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin Poison seeping into my brain until the only thing to remain
Is the last bit of innocence
I hope I can save it
I hope I can save it
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin
Hey Matthew
I think I should tell you
I spend my life hiding behind a tree complaining Nobody wants to play with me
A selfish kind of irony
I’m so fucking lonely
But I won’t let you in
If you’re out there rescue me
If you’re out there come and see me It’s not how it’s meant to be
If you’re out there come and rescue me It’s the ending of all of me
If you’re out there come and rescue me If you’re out there come and see me This is not how it’s supposed to be

[@jasondann9407]

The album is truly mind-blowing musically and lyrically. This is one of the cream tracks.

[@tobypooh]

I stopped antidepressants a couple months ago and Now I feel like I am coming back to life. This music is perfect to feel alive again! Thanks Darren!

[@jasonbradshaw1975]

Stay strong mate...music heals and keeps those demons at bay....

[@hb85338]

His voice is very soothing and loving. It certainly helps.

[@janellearonsten4377]

I’m obsessed with this. Articulates what panic attacks from trauma feels like, frozen as the world slides and you detach. Curled up on the floor loneliness but unable to reach out. Finger in the wound. Strange comfort from the relatable. Dread painted in the monotone. Wow.

[@mulefeather6064]

The sounds. The mood. Your voice. The synth. The rhythm. The story. I just fell in love with your music All over again! This album really made My decade. I must admit I was a little cautious going in that this album might not be for me. You proved me wrong the minute I sat down and played the whole Thing from start to finish. All of the songs fit together as pieces of a picture that I just can't Even describe. The more I listen to this album the deeper I fall, and I love it! You wonderful human. Thank you for sharing your soul with us.

[@mulefeather6064]

@DarrenHayes.official You Are a fake profile. I reported you.

[@clairmoreau2553]

Darren, it's Clair, your crazy Aussie fan living in LA. I freaking love the album. I am OBSESSED. I FEEL you! I was bisexual since I was 13. I am 40 now and it's still a part of me I have never really properly explored as I grew up to feel shame for my feelings. I am in a very dark place at the moment with depression and anxiety. Knowing you have been there makes me feel a little less alone! Thank you!! xoxo

[@falconiner4546]

Been a fan since the beginning, and this might be the greatest song you've ever released. Been on repeat over and over

[@ToTheMoonAndBack]

Absolutely incredible. This may be my favorite on the album.

[@LXPhotographie]

Instant favorite. What a fantastically dark song, it gives me We Are Smug meets The Tension and The Spark vibe. In love with it.

[@chaddimmack]

This song was driving me crazy all day. I love it so much.

[@r76official]

I can't remember when any song shot me down like this!! You're incredible! I'm Your fan since " To the moon and back ". Every time you release a new album we're surprising by an original ideas , like The tension and the spark or that travel experience of " This delicate things...". Thank ou Darren for making music because You're one of the best Artists of my life. Greetings from Warsaw !

[@vincenzacastiglia8485]

Woow! Even stronger than "a conversation with God " ...

[@clairmoreau2553]

A conversation with God was pretty epic if you ask me. That song cuts my soul when I listen to it. Love this song though it is addictive.

[@chandlercovington5999]

[@Abyssland]

How can someone depict depression in such a devastating yet cosy way. We who have suffered from it know the feeling and how it hurts. A billion thenks for always sow a seed of yourself in every song to make us connect the way you do. Thank you for being the permanent soundtrack to every aspect of my life 😢❤

[@milaneko4274]

What a cool song! High class.

[@anthonycirami8500]

[@michaelhowarth8884]

If ever there was a song to illustrate my battle with my emotions, this is it. Since 1997 I've been a fan, and now so I'm more than that. You write my autobiography x

Egyszerre gyönyörű és igéző...Darren,a hangod teljesen megszedit,szettep és osszerak...Mindig ámulatba esek.Csak Te segíthetsz!Imádlak és nem is akarnék a hangod nélkül élni!Csoda vagy!🙆👏🎼🎹💔♥️💗💓💕💜💖💎

[@MrJacobrabbit]

It's hypnotic

[@mrpaultrunov]

Reminding of the fact that Darren said that this song is his entirely recorded monologue when he wanted to call Matt, I don’t even know what to say: the lyrics are so dark and there are so many metaphors that it can scary if you think that it all hides in a human being’s brain 😮😮😮

[@sweetfoxy84]

WONDERFUL !!

[@alenakarabut1986]

Love you ❤

[@fletchy40]

This is an absolutely masterful song, it perfectly describes the relationship I had with a high school friend from the early 2010s. His name as also Matt.

[@Alberto-wq4bl]

Thank you Darren 💗

[@AdamJMusic23]

This one is giving me some serious 'Setting sun' vibes from 2007?'svTDTWM album, track no: 23 ? I Love this low down & dirty Vocal DH 👑 such a vibe & welcome RTN ✅

[@natashagmura9551]

[@juliefox7258]

My favourite so far on new album. Getting a sense of the suffering of christ here. Deep lyrics and love the chorus and Darren's voice there.

[@natashagmura9551]

❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@EleHotka]

Space ❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💓💓💓💯💯💯

[@davidstyling1100]

So I suffer mental health issues. My brother's name is Matt, I love him but don't always know how to explain/talk/reach out. So yeah. This song hits deep.

[@DS-of5nk]

Hope you're OK bro! music can lift you to places for sure!

[@raisa_cherry33]

Interesting 💜

[@ChineseSuperstar]

♡

[@Anna.S17]

Sözleri de müziği de ayrı ayrı çok güzel. Kendi hikayelerini anlatan müzisyenlere hayranlığım o kadar büyük ki... Şimdi buradan Sufjan Stevens dinlemeye gidiyorum.

[@youmenoww]

god this's such an underrated album. PNAU got a million views for Stars in a month, these songs should be the same. I think maybe the first two singles didn't really represent the album all that well which is a shame, maybe that had something to do with it, idk. I came to it months after the release as a consequence and discovered it's really great and I love it as much as I always have all your other stuff.

[@matthew2182]

Hey buddy

[@purcl5569]

Only 10k views in last three months since it was released in October 2022 ?! What’s wrong with people’s taste in music ??

[@DS-of5nk]

Think this track is definitely a grower. I wasn't overawed first few times I heard but I can't stop listening now!!!

[@SkyOfTheUniverse]

Who was Matt I wonder?

[@jordanjones3943]

It's one of his best friend's I believe

[@yasemin-kh8zq]

His songwriting is on par with Leonard Cohen, Bowie, Martin Gore, Dolly Parton,Taylor Swift. It doesn’t matter if their “music” is your taste, it’s the talent to tell a story. Nothing summarises the existential crisis better than David Bowie’s “five years” and I honestly consider this “nine minute long poem/manifesto” up there with the greats 💌

[@OxaSi]

Что-то от Боуи есть в лучшем смысле этого сравнения
