Waterparks - The Secret Life of Me (Official Music Video)

[@Insydious3000]

Makes me happy to see awsten directing all these videos. He has such a specific and unique touch that he adds to everything and it makes it much more enjoyable when we know he’s 100% happy with the final product. He’s been killing it lately and I’m super excited to see this one :)

[@joseph_lawless]

Awsten is the man 🖤

[@ike1025]

Lots of the recent videos are literally just lip sync boring weird stuff, do you need to see an optometrist?????? This video is cool though

[@joseph_lawless]

@@ike1025 it doesn’t take a million different moving parts on screen to create memorable art. They are doing amazing visuals with the lowest budget that they can get away with (to cut costs, not because they can’t afford it) and working wonders while doing so. If you want something that isn’t “boring” go hit up Micheal Bay or something lmao

[@ike1025]

@@joseph_lawless the fact that theres been like, no gifsets of this eras music videos actually really says something rofl >_> its not entertaining for a lotta people to stare at some generic white boys face for a whole 3 minutes while he sings at a camera

[@joseph_lawless]

@@ike1025 ah so he wrote Just Kidding about fans like you. Gotcha ☺️🤘🏻

[@l4ndseyxo507]

The chorus on this song fucking bops, so for that this has to be the most visually impressive mv so far, which I feel like it’s gonna be.

[@GalexiaGreen]

The prophecy is true!

[@lightblur45]

I sing it literally all the time

[@ghostw3938]

Does the unintelligible lyrics come up in the song or are they from a different one? No lyric site has that part and I swear I can make out some of what he’s saying but :(

[@greciac5246]

It wasn’t

[@thamys2106]

the fact that awsten said this is the most accurate representation of his synesthesia you can get without being in his brain makes me love this even more

music video predictions: -very “trippy”, dream-like - r e d -something to do w either running away or space bc that’s what this makes me think of -TRAVIS CAMEO ??? i’m begging -awsten moving very fast -AWSTEN CLONE MAYBE BC IT SAYS “first i’d find my evil twin then i will make best friends with it” -what if joel is there bc of that one lyric -maybe the bridge will be have different scenery/colors ?? idk -might look “jumpy” or choppy ? idk how to explain ksdffsk might add more later

[@jaspx-2964]

might I add general blurryness in some parts? and outstretched arms? an abstract feel?

[@Badflowermad]

I bet it'll look really edited/animation but it's really just effects like it shows on the thumbnail

[@ollie8452]

it's accurate omg

[@scrawnymf]

you both predicted well

[@ST-RFUCKER]

u accurate accurate

[@ma.cherie566]

THIS SONG MAKES EVERYTHING SEEM ALRIGHT IN LIFE AND I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY

[@Maria.Annette]

I love how this feels like a flip book, or those optical illusions where you spin something, and eventually it looks like it's spinning backwards. Very trippy, but very cool!

[@matticusgravatticus]

"Joel would be impressed", Joel walks into frame 😂

[@morganlindsay2140]

when it says “directed by awsten knight and erik rojas” you just know it’s gonna be a good video

Lyrics: When I fall asleep at night I wish my brain could sneak away Increase my pace and hop the gate And travel to another plane First I'd find my evil twin Then I will make best friends with it We'd both hate the same things And waste some hours talking shit We could write some songs Joel would be impressed We complete each other's lines Because our stupid brains connect But because that our serotonin would crash At approximately the same time And we both would need a nap Goddamn Sunbathe Looking like a Sunday Wishing for a someday I could run away like that Now I think I need a life or maybe nine 'Cause I feel like I'm running out of time, yea Someday maybe on a Sunday I can sit and sunbathe I could run away like that Now I think I need a life or maybe nine 'Cause I'm feeling like I'm running out of time, oh oh I've seen a place I'd like to stay Nirvana, but it's far away Yeah, it might take a couple planes And parachutes for my escape Jump face-first into the sun We've got the same sunglasses on My solar eyes grow polarized But the blinding light is so much fun Yeah, maybe paradise Is somewhere deep inside The halls or walls Where I've spent all my time Building my whole life Where I feel alright 'Cause I never wanna leave the secret life of me The secret life of me Sunbathe Looking like a Sunday Wishing for a someday I could run away like that Now I think I need a life or maybe nine 'Cause I feel like I'm running out of time, yea Someday maybe on a Sunday I can sit and sunbathe I could run away like that Now I think I need a life or maybe nine 'Cause I'm feeling like I'm running out of time, oh, oh I feel like I'm running out of time Real life never feels like it's mine So I'll dissociate until I'm fine Until I'm fine I keep my eyes wide shut Live a secret life for fun Away from anyone and everyone And someday I will Sunbathe Looking like a Sunday Wishing for a someday I could run away like that Now I think I need a life or maybe nine 'Cause I feel like I'm running out of time, yea (feels like I'm running out of time) Someday maybe on a Sunday I can sit and sunbathe I could run away like that (away like that) Now I think I need a life or maybe nine 'Cause I'm feeling like I'm running out of time, oh, oh

Thank you ❤

[@cherryred11]

This is literally sunlight in a song!

[@abiengland2883]

So much so, that if I were making my own version of the video, I’d make it so sunny it’d look kind of like the Lowkey As Hell video colour wise. (Not that I’m knocking this video of course, it’s so cool we get to see what Awsten sees when he hears this! I just imagine it a little differently.) I’d keep all the visual effects the same though, those are awesome. :)

[@ghostw3938]

all of these cringe pseudo-synesthesia statements in the comments lmao

[@abiengland2883]

@@ghostw3938 dude you don’t need to have synesthesia to link emotions to colours people do it all the time. it’s just more conscious linking of the emotions of the song and the colours of the emotions which happens automatically with synesthesia. nobody’s claiming to have synesthesia who doesn’t, just that awsten talking about his and making it the basis for the visuals for this video makes you think about your own associations more. plus waterparks have a big enough following that they probably do have followers who actually have synesthesia, and the open discussion of it means they can feel more comfortable talking about it than they might otherwise. who are you to dictate how someone else experiences something, i guess everyone who doesn’t have synesthesia should put a disclaimer on every comment they make about the visuals? take an art class you’ll learn pretty quickly that there are commonly associated emotions with specific colours. sorry to go off on one but your comment really rubbed me the wrong way. i don’t see these comments as people pretending to experience something they don’t, just an honest discussion of the way this song makes them feel, which i don’t think is “cringe” at all

[@nuz2582]

It's been 2 years since this released and I'm just realizing if you blur your eyes in the same way that you do while looking at "magic eye" books it give the 3D effect

[@eggthemighty]

This song is so incredible! I remember when life was just too much and I used music and books to forget about what happened in the 'real world'. I really felt that I wasn't doing what I wanted and I sort of still aren't but one day I will. This song just reminds me of getting through that time where I really didn't want to be in the life I was. Now I have opportunities and an entire life in front of me, even if there is only one and not nine, I'm gonna live it as my own and not anybody else's.
