Lyrics:
Shut down the gold rush in my head
Because we're out of work.
I'm living proof of compromise,
"Be back in 10"
With no return.
I'm sick of being in Houston.
I'm sick of everything I've been around enough to get used to.
I'm proof of consequences
And exhausting common sense.
And I kill what I build,
My common myth's confidence.
I'm two-faced from your double exposure,
Stop right there, don't come any closer.
I wish I was royal but I'm not.
You've painted your future,
But I'm just not in the picture.
Maybe I missed the frame,
Maybe I'm seconds late, always late.
'Cause I work myself to death,
Don't believe me? Ask Geoff.
And I'm doing alright
But is "alright" enough?
Because I'm living my dreams,
But I live at home.
'Cause everything is on the down low
for now.
You won't like what you see,
So keep your eyes off of me,
I fell in love with everything
That wants nothing to do with me.
I know that there's no dealing with the way I'm feeling,
I'm so out of touch with everyone
And everything's a blur to me.

[@alyssam702]

95Jewel but his eyes are 2 different colors lol

[@mayssajamil9563]

it's a toe token necklace... they're basically little plastic feet that they would give to kids as motivation to walk more. So say every 3 miles, they get a toe token. It's just something they do in America and Awsten being a total dork always wears that necklace hahah

[@MoonGhosties]

After watching it for like, the 100th time I finally realised that we only ever see Geoff and Otto in normal clothes, and when Awsten is in normal clothes? So that either means that Otto and Geoff aren't with him or that they're in his head? Because throughout the video half the time before we see Otto and Geoff again Awsten has at least one hand on his head, or motioning to his head like when he pointed at it, and he seems to grab his head a lot more when despite Awsten saying 'don't come any closer' Otto and Geoff went right up to him and started talking/making noises in his ears, what if when he says 'don't believe me ask Geoff' they can't... because Geoff and Otto are a figment of his imagination... well now that I've made myself more depressed I'll be going

[@MoonGhosties]

Martaa Bosch yea that was my thinking behind the 'Geoff and Otto aren't with him' part of things, like Awsten is in like a hospital/mental facility and Otto and Geoff aren't there, so did something happen to them(figuratively of coarse) and Awsten went mildly insane and still thinks they are around and stuff? You can get so many different stories from this if you really think about it and it's messing me up 😩

[@kywha1e_]

Waterparks is basically comfort music to me. I don’t listen to them nearly as much as I used to, and don’t keep up with new releases or anything, but whenever I’m feeling down or just like, off, listening to their music makes me feel so much better. This is gonna sound cheesy, but sometimes, I don’t know why, but I randomly feel like I’m just floating in space without any meaning or purpose. But when I listen to their music, i/ almost like it pulls me back down to earth, and I can feel the ground under my feet again.

[@prodigy2591]

When I saw them live first time they sounded like all time low

[@rhillow1180]

yeah they have a similar sound. i actually saw them supporting all time low

[@brokenapplesauce5305]

My take on this video: Awsten is in some sort of mental health hospital or rehab. Geoff and Otto are real, but they can't visit him so instead, he imagines them and stuff (hence all of the motionings to his head and pulling his hair). When he says "I'm working myself to death, don't believe me ask Geoff," he's saying that he's trying, but everything is hard and he needs support from his closest friends (Otto's name just doesn't work in that context, because it doesn't rhyme). When he's wearing his "normal clothes," he's in his mind and stuff, but in the white, he has to face a mostly monotoned world that he can't express himself in. Boom. I'm a genius. Not really, there are probably a bajillion comments about this and a lot of them are probably almost the exact same as mine, sooooo, I'll leave now.

[@elizebradshaw7752]

I have a theory. (I saw something like this on here sometime) What if Awsten has schizophrenia and is in a mental hospital. Like Otto and Geoff aren't real. That's why we only see them when he's in his normal clothes. Then when he says, 'stop right there, don't come any closer' and Otto and Geoff get closer is him asking for them to leave because he wants to believe they aren't real too. He also says, 'don't believe me? Ask Geoff' is him talking to a therapist about things that had happened and they don't believe him. Then they try to convince him that they aren't real. Then when he says, 'I'm so out of touch with everyone and everything's a blur to me' is him saying that he's lost touch with everyone since being put in there. I don't really know. It's just a theory
