The band has released three EPs, two of which (Airplane Conversations & Black Light) were released independently with one released via Equal Vision (Cluster). Additionally, the band has released five studio albums (Double Dare, Entertainment, FANDOM, Greatest Hits and INTELLECUAL PROPERTY).
On November 6, 2015, the band signed with Equal Vision Records. After searching for producers, the band became managed by Benji Madden and Joel Madden. On November 6, 2015, the band released "Crave", the lead single off their first project with Equal Vision, the Cluster EP. On January 15, 2016, the group released Cluster, which was co-produced by Benji Madden and Courtney Ballard, with bass being performed by Mikey Way of My Chemical Romance. On November 19, 2015, the band performed with Good Charlotte during the group's comeback performance at The Troubadour in West Hollywood, California.
The group performed on the Black Cat Tour supporting Never Shout Never in 2016, and on every date of the 2016 Warped Tour. The band also performed on the End The Madness Tour supporting Sleeping with Sirens in late 2016. They played Slam Dunk festival in 2016 and 2017, and went on a headline tour of the UK with support from Chapel and The Bottom Line, selling out all dates. They toured the US in late 2017, with support from As It Is, Chapel and Sleep On It.
The group released a single titled "Stupid For You" on August 31, 2016 in promotion of their debut album, Double Dare, which was released on November 4, 2016. The album consists of 13 songs, and was preceded by 3 singles: "Stupid For You"; "Hawaii (Stay Awake)"; and "Royal". On January 26, 2017, the band released their second studio album Entertainment. The album includes 10 tracks, and was preceded by the singles "Blonde", "Lucky People", and "Not Warriors".
You write a record, go on tour, endure a very public breakup, and pen more songs about what happened. Sound familiar? Well, this story sort of starts that way right before it makes a total 180 degree turn on a dime.
...
Rather than talk about “doing something different", Waterparks actually did. On the heels of landing their biggest chart and critical success to date on 2018’s Entertainment, the Houston, TX three piece - Awsten Knight [vocals, guitar], Otto Wood [drums], and Geoff Wigington [guitar] commenced writing again before scrapping everything. They reconfigured the vision, recalibrated the entire approach, and reinvented themselves. By doing so, the boys boldly break down walls between rock, pop, punk, hip-hop, alternative, indie, electronic, and even R&B with hashtaggable hooks and a level of gleeful playlist hopping mischief on their third full length, and Hopeless Records debut, FANDOM. They went on the FANDOM Tour in 2019 and 2020, before the rest of the tour being cancelled. However, they recorded one of the shows, and released their first live album, FANDOM: LIVE IN THE UK in late 2020.
Then on September 25, 2020, the band released their first single since FANDOM, "Lowkey as Hell", and announced they had signed to 300 Entertainment. Then, on February 26, 2021, they released "Snow Globe", and announced their fourth studio album, Greatest Hits. Four additional singles preceded the album's release: "Numb", "You'd Be Paranoid Too (If Everyone Was Out To Get You)", "Just Kidding", and "Violet!". And on May 21, 2021, Greatest Hits was released. They reinvented themselves once again, making an album with influences from genres like hyperpop, pop, hip-hop, rock, punk, alternative, indie and even electronic and r&b. Since then, Greatest Hits has topped charts, gotten 25 million streams and and has led the band to perform on MTV. Waterparks has also started touring again, doing meet and greet shows in places like LA, NYC, Orlando, Baltimore, Houston, Seattle, Portland and Minneapolis. They also went on the A Night Out on Earth tour in fall 2021 across America with Zeph, Phem and Arrested Youth as openers.
Then, they started teasing new music. Awsten started an online clothing brand called Hii-Def. Then on March 9th, it was announced that the band was going on tour opening for My Chemical Romance on five dates (Albany, Montreal, Toronto on two nights, Los Angeles). Later that month, they announced they were going to play Sad Summer Fest from July 8th till August 5th across America with bands like State Champs, Mayday Parade, Hot Mulligan, Neck Deep and more. Then, in May they announced they had signed to Fueled by Ramen. Following that, they released the 1st single off of their fifth studio album, entitled FUNERAL GREY on May 14th, 2022.
During June, they went on the See You in The Future tour in Europe with Bad Suns and Phem as openers. They then went on the Sad Summer fest and released SELF-SABOTAGE on July 7, 2022, the same day as the 1st show of SSF in Sacramento. A week after starting the SSF tour, they announced they were opening for Blackbear’s Nothing Matters tour in September. On October 14th, 2022, they released FUCK ABOUT IT (feat. blackbear), the third single off their fifth studio album. On November 22, they announced the title of their fifth album, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. On January 26th, 2023, they released the fourth single from INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, REAL SUPER DARK, and announced that their fifth album would be released on April 14, 2023. In advance of the album, they released one more single, BRAINWASHED, on March 9th, 2023. On April 14, 2023, the album was released. In support of the album, the band will embark on The Property Tour, spanning late April to June 2023, with openers being HUNNY, Daisy Grenade, Elliot Lee, and Sophie Powers. On October 11, 2023, Waterparks released an unreleased INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY track, SNEAKING OUT OF HEAVEN, after repeatedly teasing the song on social media.

Waterparks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You found me and finders keep
You′re why I'm sitting here making up songs in my room
Ad-libbing around like bum bum bum bum
You′re why I keep my Texas sleep hours on tour
Instead of sleeping around like bum bum
Mind your head, I've lost my mind
Mind, your head, has lost its sight
From thinking about, thinking about you all the time
The la-la-la-lobotomy
Has taken all of, all of me
The la-la-la-lobotomy
Took all but you
So let me go, let me go down
So let me go, let me go down
So let me go, let me go down
Pardon me, cutting sleep
I'm taking up grinding teeth
You′re why I′m sitting here,
Hating myself for needing someone so bad
And feeling dumb dumb dumb dumb
If why I'm sitting here all goes wrong
Just push me back to Texas walking bum bum
God damn
Mind your head, I′ve lost my mind
From thinking about, thinking about you all the time
Mind, your head, has lost its sight
From thinking about, thinking about you all the time
The la-la-la-lobotomy
Has taken all of, all of me
The la-la-la-lobotomy
It took all but you
So let me go, let me go down
So let me go, let me go down
So let me go, let me go down
So let me go, let me go down
Let me go, let me go down
Let me go, let me go
So let me go, let me go down
Let me go, let me go down
Let me go, let me go down, down, down, down
So let me go, let me go down
(Let's both talk in circles like infinity signs)
Let me go, let me go down
(′Cause this won't last forever if we both want to die, right?)
Let me go, let me go
Mind your head, I lost my mind
From thinking about, thinking about you all the time
Mind, your head, has lost its sight
From thinking about, thinking about you all the time
The lo-lo-lo-lobotomy
Has taken all, all of me
The lo-lo-lo-lobotomy
It took all but you
So let me go, let me go down
So let me go, let me go down
So let me go, let me go down
So let me go, let me go down
So let me go, let me go down
The lyrics to Waterparks's song Peach depict a person's infatuation with another. The author describes how this person has become the center of their world and even their reason for making music. The author seems to be willing to sacrifice sleep and their mental well-being just to be with this person. The chorus of the song talks about how the author feels like they have lost their mind from thinking about this person all the time, likening it to a lobotomy. However, they still long for this person and ask for permission to go down (presumably to be with them).
The lyrics also reveal a level of insecurity and self-doubt in the author. They describe themselves as feeling dumb for needing someone so badly and hating themselves for it. They also seem to be aware of the possibility that the relationship might not last forever and that both parties might be susceptible to dying. Despite this, they still plead for the other person to let them go down to be with them, ultimately implying that they cannot live without them.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a person who is deeply in love and consumed by this feeling to the point of sacrificing their well-being. It also highlights the vulnerability and insecurity that can come with being in love and needing someone so badly.
