Houston-bred alt-rockers Waterparks are back with their latest single, “IF LYRICS WERE CONFIDENTIAL”. The track is equal parts boisterous and confessional, showcasing Waterparks’ signature blend of high-energy alt-rock with introspective and confrontational lyrics.
Frontman Awsten Knight explains the inspiration behind the new track: “A lot of the songs on the next Waterparks album play with big, abstract concepts, and IF LYRICS WERE CONFIDENTIAL was one of those. The premise is exactly what it sounds like – things I’d get into if I didn’t think anyone would ever hear the song, which in my opinion is the best way to write. It’s how you get yourself to talk about the most personal and uncomfortable things. The lyrics brush through a lot of topics very quickly, all of which could probably be their own songs, but that’s also what makes it exciting.”
