“Blonde”, the first single from Waterparks‘ sophomore album Entertainment, focuses on the stereotypes of people with blonde hair being fun and enthusiastic contrasting with Awsten’s sadness. It also lyrically focuses on how Awsten’s life has changed since Waterparks became more popular, with referen...
[Intro Chorus]
At least it's all about you
I think the blondes are done with fun
At least it's all about you
I think the blondes are done, we're all too cool for fun
[Verse 1]
I go blonde when I'm sad
Blew motivation I had
To make my still-beating something
Not hurt that bad
Haven't been home in some months
I haven't loved myself
Just watching friends online
Look like they need some help
[Pre-Chorus]
I never wanted to be thinking this loud
I never asked about the when, why or how
I wanted privacy, routine and everything between
While they're just finding me out
I never wanted to be thinking this loud
[Chorus]
At least it's all about you
I think the blondes are done with fun
At least it's all about you
I think the blondes are done
We're all too cool for fun
No plastic or paper can take her or make her
Shake from the fact she's my world devastator
You...
I think the blondes are done
We're all too cool for fun
[Verse 2]
I go blue when I've had
A break at home to breathe
I used to, to crave a getaway
Now I don't wanna leave
I was stuck at home for some months
I didn't love myself
Before we sold out shows
Before I needed help
[Pre-Chorus]
I never wanted to be thinking this loud
I never asked about the when, why or how
I wanted privacy, routine and everything between
While they're just finding me out
I never wanted to be thinking this loud
[Chorus]
At least it's all about you
I think the blondes are done with fun
At least it's all about you
I think the blondes are done
We're all too cool for fun
No plastic or paper can take her or make her
Shake from the fact she's my world devastator
You...
I think the blondes are done
We're all too cool for fun
[Bridge]
I'm falling from my couch across these states for you
I feel trapped in contracts, I'm depressed, tied in gift wrap
I'm seconds from bottles when these seconds feel awful now
But I don't for you (you)
[Chorus]
At least it's all about you
I think the blondes are done
(We're all too cool for fun)
At least it's all about you
I think the blondes are done with fun
At least it's all about you
I think the blondes are done
We're all too cool for fun
No plastic or paper can take her or make her
Shake from the fact she's my world devastator
You...
I think the blondes are done
We're all too cool for fun

Vocalist Awsten Knight talked to PopBuzz about the new album.
Let’s see…the chorus came about when I was actually doing some vocal warm ups and just playing around while touring on the headliner we did back in February. I was like ‘hey, that’s pretty cool’. So that was sort of the hook. And then I...
Vocalist Awsten Knight told PopBuzz about ‘'Blonde’‘ and its connections to debut album Double Dare:
That song [Blonde] is closest to the last album. The reason we put it out first is because it kinda just has every element from the first album. It’s all wrapped into one song. So I felt that it was...
Vocalist Awsten Knight revealed in an interview with 34th Street:
The song in general is just about the last 6 months or year or whatever of touring. Everything that everyone’s heard until now was written before we’d even started touring. Touring in general is not a light job for your mental health...
