[END]. Wow what a painful end to a heart wrenching album… you should all go listen to it wherever you listen to your music! Thinking of suntrip like this may have just killed me :D

— The Best ✉️ Jade likes to say she hasn’t thought about Summer since their college fling. It’s a lie. He has piles of unsent letters about how she feels about Summer through the years. Summer, a renowned actor on broadway is shocked to receive fan mail from someone she can’t get out of her head

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘The Best’:

But memories of good times, they really last
Arms in your sweatshirt, primrose at night
Mint chocolate ice cream, your hazel eyes

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘The Best’:

But why leave so quickly?
Do you miss me?
Did all of this past year mean anything?

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘The Best’:

Sometimes I wonder if it really is the end
I wanna watch you while the words come out your mouth
That you don’t miss me like I know you miss me now
I know you miss me now

— Moths🪟 Jade had never really understood Summer’s love for Orpheus and Eurydice until he was thrown into the situation herself. Looking at Summer in front of her now, trying her best not to look back as they traverse the Spirit World, Jade knows she would always forgive her…

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Moths’:

The door is closed, but the window’s open
I’ll leave the light oh and I’ll let the moths in
I’ll keep your secrets and I’ll watch them follow you home
So keep on walking, just keep on walking

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Moths’:

So I won’t beg
But if you need me
Just turn around
Just turn around

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Moths’:

And if you wanted, you could meet me on the other side of the street
No touch, no kissing, let’s just talk it out

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Moths’:

So I won’t beg (Might be missin’ you forever, but you’re every song I sing)
But if you need me (And every letter, ever word that we don’t speak)
Just turn around (Holds us together, I will always be your friend)
Just turn around

— Door 🚪 Jade has a hard time letting go of what she had with Summer. Even after everything between them Jade knows it would only take a knock at his door or a ring from her phone before he’d easily let Summer back in again. She knows it’s not good for him, but logic doesn’t matter here

Ornate silver spoons on a red table cloths. There is a silver wishbone object laid with them

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Door’:

I just need to close this door
Wipe the wine that we spilled off the floor
I just need to close this door
Who do I keep it open for?

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Door’:

A rosary bead of the headphones we shared
On the night that we slept on the floor
I’ve tried to find somebody else, but it just makes me lonelier (Ah)

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Door’:

Only you, my love
Only you, my love
Only you, my love
Only you, my love

100

— House That Always Rains ⛈️ Jade knows what it’s like to only be seen for what your hero status provides. She’s seen first hand exactly where it can leave you. When Summer first gets her powers Jade makes sure Summer knows her worth. Makes sure she’s still loved even when she’s scared of being seen

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘House That Always Rains’:

Don’t that explain why we’re afraid of love?
Don’t that explain why we’re afraid of love?

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘House That Always Rains’:

Stumbled to the streets, found crowds of talking teeth
Overwhelmed (Terrified), we fell (Eye to eye)
That the rest of the world went quiet for the first time

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘House That Always Rains’:

While I was scared of being left, you were scared of being seen
Truly seen

— Do I Dare ☎️ Jade and Summer were inseparable during high school. Turns out different career paths and different hero systems makes it easy to drift apart. Jade still misses Summer, like sometimes it’s the only thing he can do. Years later, despite no contact, Jade tries to reach out…

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Do I Dare’:

But when some cynical thing happens to me
You’re still the very first name I’d like to reach to tell
‘Cause only you’d find it funny

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Do I Dare’:

I saw a wren fly at a window
And if I befriend you, will I crash in magnificent blur?
Fall to the curb, rotting alone, like when you left me first

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Do I Dare’:

(Ah) Will you want to hear from me? (Every day, every day)
Holdin’ back the words that we (Never say, never say)
So do I wait by the phone, every day, lonely, or

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Do I Dare’:

Do I dare
Do I dare
Do I dare
Repair?
Do I dare
Do I dare
Reach out and ask you how you’ve been?

100

— Care 🪐 Jade has done everything she can to protect Summer whenever he can—in school, on patrol, and even when she gets superpowers of her own. Jade can’t help it, he’s like the moon preventing asteroids from reaching earth. Summer doesn’t seem to notice though, hardly notices Jade at all anymore

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Care’:

Finally out of your spell
Now all that I want is just to move on

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Care’:

My fault for making believe (Ah-ah)
Mistook who you are for who you could be (Ah-ah)
Pretend to hate you instead

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Care’:

So I don’t cry ‘cause it is over
I just don’t feel like I could love again
And I told myself that I’m over you
But I care, I care, care (I care)
Care (I care)
Care, care, care, care (I care)

— Eleven Eleven 💫 Jade has been wishing on stars for longer than he can remember to have a chance with Summer Dileo. She thinks it’s all over when Summer starts dating a girl outside of Rockfall. They move in together after high school and Jade almost gives up hope. Eventually the stars do align…

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Eleven Eleven’:

There’s wishbones and clovers and numbers from heaven
Shapes in the stars to invent our connection
As much as I act like I want to forget it
I still wish for you at 11:11
I still wish for you

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Eleven Eleven’:

Heard you’re seeing some girl in New York
So, what am I reading horoscopes for?

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Eleven Eleven’:

‘Cause I’ll wait for nothing
Pretending we’re something
My mind lies for you and I
Oh, for you and I

— Sunset Tower 🌅 Suntrip had a messy breakup after their conflicting hero/vigilante work just didn’t align. They spend so much of their time after making headlines and doing interviews just so they other can’t forget about them. Neither can let the other go even when they know they can never work

A mug of coffee resting on smoothed out bedsheets? The mug has blue decal of a garden ans the word “PRIMROSE” visibly written on it

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Sunset Tower’:

Lika says you’re dating again, it’s horrible
Getting all your news through a friend
Been tryna hide that I’m still here stuck in your hell

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Sunset Tower’:

Spare me all the stories of how you’re moving on
Lying to yourself when I say that’s what ai want
Part of me just wanted some proof
It’s hurting you in the way it’s hurting me too

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Sunset Tower’:

I wish you the best but hope that you die inside
Every time I’m playing in London

100

— Connell 🔎 Summer has been enamoured by Cantrip for longer than she knows and maybe she doesn’t really know who he is, but she asks her out anyway. The bliss Summer felt dating him didn’t last long.. Cantrip never got the courage to reveal her identity and Summer knew not to fall for a mask…

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Connell’:

Skipping your stones at my window in the dark
Kissing your ghost was my own damn fucking fault

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Connell’:

I knew weren’t meant to be
I’m from Texas skies, you’re from London streets
And I’m not your type, but you’re trying things

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Connell’:

But deep in my bones I pain is what ai earned
And you remind me of how good it feels to hurt
Yeah, you remind me of how little I deserve

100

— Caramel 🍨 Slinky and Cantrip start “going out” after one too many nights on patrol ended with stolen kisses. It was so far from anything healthy but Cantrip didn’t care. It stops suddenly, they have work to do even if they miss the rush. Jade doesn’t feel it again until she meets Summer

Four jellyfish illuminated blue behind aquarium glass

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Caramel’:

Promised spoken, all coming back as lies
But you with your soft sweet kiss is all I miss in the back of my mind

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Caramel’:

It was love at the worst
It was what we deserved

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Caramel’:

Sweet taste in my mouth
I can’t get it out
I want you back now and we’re making out
Drunk, sleeping on my couch

100

— Nauseous🌀 Jade thinks she’s always been scared to love people. Or at least it feels like a long time. People have been leaving him since the moment she was born. It’s no surprise then, when he starts dating Summer, the walls she guards herself with almost get in the way of the best thing he’s had

“II
i got the short end of the stick”
Written in typewriter font on a dark blue backdrop

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Nauseous’:

Everyone trusts you, they love you out loud
You won’t hurt a fly, but we’re flying up now
And all that goes up, well, it’s got to come down

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Nauseous’:

With people before
They left like a falling floor
And there as I soared
I vowed to be never more
Too trusting and loving, depending and kind
Behind every kiss is a jaw that could bite

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Nauseous’:

Your love is a threat and I’m nauseous
Scares me to death, how I want it
Not common sense, but I’m haunted
By people who’ve left, so you scare me to death
Yeah, you scare me

100

— Class Clown 🪅 Jade never got his parents, though parents is a strong word. She used to laugh about having virtually no parent at all, just someone to look up to, a figurehead to respect. Summer looks horrified when Jade shares the joke with her and he cannot for the life of him figure out why

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Class Clown’:

Half my friends barely know who I am
And there’s none at fault, but this own singing man

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Class Clown’:

While my father was barreling fists, I was
Laughing all the way through it
And now the blondies are clutching their ribs
From my latest joke from my old back of tricks

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Class Clown’:

And if I stop laughing, all the blood will just starting pouring out
‘Cause everything comes back around
I still feel like the class clown

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Class Clown’:

Been tryna talk to my sister about it
We joke a million jokes through the phone
Nothing funny about that home
But her and I, we already know

100

— My World 🌏 Summer hasn’t had the best track record of previous partners. Her most recent ex, Jessie, was most definitely the most controlling. Since dating Jade Ngô though, her life has never been better - she can actually live it to the fullest. She can love Jade to the fullest too.

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘My World’:

There was a time when you were everything
All my self-assessment on your thought of me
Couldn’t tell you who I was before

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘My World’:

A full year later, you’re calling me back
You say you’re sorry for treating me like trash
It’s totally okay, dude, I really don’t mind
You got your revenge by being stuck with your life
So, you can keep drinking snd living a lie

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘My World’:

It’s my world and it’s my time
I’ll waste it how I might like
I don’t have you in mind
I don’t have you in mind

— Romeo ⚔️ Summer used to hate Romeo and Juliet, mainly because her ex used to compare them to the two characters all the time and he was an ass. She avoided the play like the plague and refused to watch any adaptation. Then she met Jade, and suddenly she found someone who was actually her Romeo

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Romeo’:

I was out prayin’ for you, that’s why my friends pray for me
Even on my worst days, I was never treatin’ you the selfish way that you treated me

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Romeo’:

Where art thou?
I’m all alone now
Where art thou?

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Romeo’:

(Do you mind if I like, talk to you for a bit?)
You’re no Romeo (You’re no Romeo)
You’re no Romeo (You’re no Romeo)

100

— Vodka Cranberry 🍇 Jade and Summer go through a falling out in their senior year—Summer is joining the hero academy and Jade cannot understand Summer’s ignorance. Summer ends things even when she doesn’t want to. It takes seeing how WATCH treats an injured Jade for Summer to realise he was right

A hand holding a Vodka Cranberry above an open esky-like fridge

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Vodka Cranberry’:

So strange to be back at your place
Pretending like nothing has changed

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Vodka Cranberry’:

Now I look dumb and you look mean
You casually steal back your T-shirt
And your polo cap, yeah, I noticed that
YeahC i notice everything you do

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Vodka Cranberry’:

(Don’t make me do this to you) I will
(Don’t make me do this, but I will) I will
I will
I will, I will, I will

100

— This Song 🎼 Summer works up the courage to finally admit her feelings to Jade only her friends think she’s chosen the most unconventional method. She dedicates her final theatre class performance to Jade, a small scene she wrote herself, and everyone agrees it’s her most passionate performance

A photo of a silhouetted Conan Gray playing the guitar. There is a spotlight behind him and the image i think is taken by himself pointing at his shadow

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘This Song’:

Your eyes are like Heaven, your voice is like rain
11:11s, they all hear your name
I’m too shy to tell you the words on my mind
I hope you can see if you read through these lines

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘This Song’:

You’re singing obnoxious, I’m laughing like spring
Your brown racer jacket, my hands through the sleeves
The smell of your perfume is all over me
I can’t wash it off, so it’s easy to see

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘This Song’:

(I wrote this song about you)
(I wrote this song about you)
Now you know that I love you

— Actor 🎭 ‘Slinky’ and ‘Cantrip’ haven’t truly experienced the world outside of the public eye. They still managed to keep their relationship a secret. For a while anyway. After photos are leaked in the press Jade realises how easily Summer can act like they didn’t mean the world to each other

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Actor’:

Nobody saw us im the hotel lobby
And nobody saw us with your sweatshirt on me

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Actor’:

A friend of mine asked you, “Have you talked to Conan?”
You didn’t react, you said, “I barely even fucking know him”

Lyrics for Conan Gray’s ‘Actor’:

You pretend nothing happened, I believe
‘Cause you’re a much better actor

— [END]. Please go listen to Laufey’s A Matter of Time: The Final Hour however you listen to your music!! It’s so peak!!!

Laufey running in a garden with a black gown-like dress on

────୨ৎ────

Summer regrets it all—the joint missions, the changed seating in classes and at lunch, the shared glances, the gentle touch, the memory of a love that once was—she’s broken now and she knows she’ll never find a love quite like the one she had with Jade. She’ll never forget him even when she dies

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I’ll Forget About You (In Time)’:

I don’t know what you saw in me
You’ve broken me
I don’t believe I’ll fall in love again

Then news came of a mission turned sour. One miscalculation. One mistaken ally… Jade went to take down Bell Tech and never returned. Summer doesn’t think she’s cried harder in her life and she literally can’t recognise her own face. Her mother’s tried comforting her but nothing dulls the ache.

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I’ll Forget About You (In Time)’:

Went home to my mother and cried
She said, “You will find another in this life

Breaking up with Jade hadn’t stopped the danger she put herself in, hadn’t stopped the risks he took or the amount of jobs she took on. It hadn’t stopped Summer’s anxiety or her heartache or her sleepless nights. It only made Jade harder to forget, harder to let go of, harder to stop loving.

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I’ll Forget About You (In Time)’:

I’ll forget about him in time (In time)
Oh (In time, in time)
I’ll forget about him, won’t I?

Being a vigilante is dangerous, there’s not enough for you to fall back on, no guaranteed safety. And Jade doesn’t care about the risk on her own life so long as she’s doing the right thing. He cared so much about everyone and everything. Summer wishes she could forget it all, could forget him.

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I’ll Forget About You (In Time)’:

Erase you from my periphery
Delete you from everything I see
I’ll forget about you in time

— I’ll Forget About You (In Time) Summer knew breaking up with Jade was the best thing she could’ve possibly done. That doesn’t mean she wanted to. She loves Jade with everything she has, loves him as easily as breathing, as certainly as the sun will rise tomorrow. But she must protect her heart

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I’ll Forget About You (In Time)’:

I knew I had to do it, break it off
Now I feel ruined

────୨ৎ────

this is. Wait for her to part ways now before they get in too deep. There’s part of Jade who sometimes thinks she already has, what with all the danger he puts himself in, Summer’s sure to want to leave already. Even if not how he expected, in his final hour, Jade is vindicated he’s right.

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I Wait, I Wait, I Wait’:

You didn’t do this, just me in the music
Spinning evermore
The price of a cynic id joy for just a minite
Nothing to live for

Jade knows this thinking is detrimental, knows this is just her anxiety impacting everything he does, but it’s hard to let go when the evidence is all there. So, despite not wanting to, Jade waits for Summer to fall out of love, waits for Summer to finally realise how reckless and stupid and doomed

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I Wait, I Wait, I Wait’:

I wait for the tears when you smile
Search for the lies out your teeth

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I Wait, I Wait, I Wait’:

But worst of them all
I wait got you to fall
Out of love with me

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I Wait, I Wait, I Wait’:

I wait for the day when you finally say
You’re out of love with me

sick before they’re allowed to truly be anything together. Jade is almost certain it will happen. Why should meeting the love of his life be met with any other kind of fate? Why should Jade believe she’ll get a happy ending here when all of his other endings have been anything but?

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I Wait, I Wait, I Wait’:

Bam-bam, bam-bam
I hesitate
Accept my hapless fate
I wait, I wait, I wait

He’s gotten used to always waiting for the other shoe to drop. It’s only inevitable she’ll lose Summer too. She’ll lose interest, be disappointed in everything she does. Summer will push him to the side, like most people she’s loved has done, and Jade will be alone again. Or worse, she’ll die or get

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I Wait, I Wait, I Wait’:

I wait for the thunder in sunshine
Wait for sickness in health

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I Wait, I Wait, I Wait’:

I wait for the sorrow
The blue of tomorrow
Regrets of yesterday

— I Wait, I Wait, I Wait Jade has never really gotten to keep anything she loved. His first lucky charm, favourite toy gadgets, favourite instrument, her family home, the closeness with his cousins, her parents, his twin sister; they were all taken from her before she was ready to let them go.

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘I Wait, I Wait, I Wait’:

I wait for an earthquake in silence
Wait for nightmares in a dream

────୨ৎ────

friends? No where to to be found. She curses herself for her foolishness as much as she curses the world for taking Jade from her, now matter how frustrated she made her feel. Now she’s stuck with an addiction she cannot kick and a loneliness far greater than she’s ever experienced.

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘How I Get’:

Don’t cut strings to attach to
Just some far-sought silhouette
A journey that I’ll one day dread

together and filling the silence with sometimes gentle conversation, other times frustrated curses. Summer couldn’t understand how she could get this was with someone. Now, after the showdown with the Trickster, Summer is left alone, her perfect nature entirely disrupted and one of her closest

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘How I Get’:

But baby, with you, that’s just how I get (The pendulum swings back around)

into the moon’s no matter how catastrophic the consequences. Then the job with Dr. Ramere happened and Jade was one of two people who were there to help Summer make sense of herself. Pick up the pieces and help her remember what she even looked like. They found empty rooftops to talk on, smoking

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘How I Get’:

Oh, that’s just how I get (I need more tempo, crave more sound)

other’s nerves. Summer’s perfection had cracked under the pressure. Anger bubbled under her skin for often than serenity, And the worst part was, Summer couldn’t even find it within herself to care, so long as she could continue this Thing with Jade. Whatever it was. She was the sun being pulled

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘How I Get’:

I’m caught up in a web
I’m blinded by you, that’s just how I get

of the Prime Defenders pushing her to the side and suddenly there was a whole new thing to dislike about Jade: his contempt for the superhero system as a whole. Then they were shoulder-checking each other in the hallways, arguing while out on patrol, and finding any little reason to get on each

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘How I Get’:

Don’t do things I’ll regret
Don’t mood swing, shoulder bets
But baby, with you, that’s just how I get

So much changed when she met Jade Ngô. Jade, who seemed to come out of nowhere, fighting for Summer’s spot as the top of the class, scoffing whenever she was brought up, and holding as much annoyance for Summer as she held for Jade. Then Summer got more involved with the superhero academy curtesy

Lyrics for Laufey’s ‘How I Get’:

Human nature is strange
I know you’re bad for me
