Top Comments of this video!! :3
Honestly, I donāt really relate as much to this song personally, but something about the way you write and sing songs make them feel just as personal. I feel like I became this āsummer childā for a few minutes and Iām all the better for it. This was a magical experience. Thank you ā¤ļø

Some of my favorite lines (this is a long comment, hope you read it)
"When the Sun goes missing are the flowers just as pretty? Are the oceans just as deep? The trees as green?"
"You don't really love the Sun, it drives you wild"
To me, these lines are not just some poetry. To me, "the Sun" is that one person. The person who molded you, made you, and has stuck with you forever and helped you, is really hurting you. Without the Sun, none of these beautiful aspects of nature look beautiful, just like without that one person, nothing seems right. But you also realize that person is hurting you, and always tries to make you the "way you're supposed to be," which makes you hate them. This complicated gray area is beautiful and relatable. (This "person" could be anyone or anything, not just a lover)
"And as for me, I'll watch you weep"
Also a beautiful line. It's giving "I am deeply sorry for you. It disturbs me as much as it does you, I have gone through this as well and I am also as clueless as you are, so my hands are tied"
The people who relate to this (including me) knows Conan has gone through this as well.
"You don't have to act like all you feel is mild"
Depressed people usually joke off or not give much emphasis to their own situation, too scared to "take the spotlight" although at times, they do need it. This is a desperate call for help, even if it wasn't meant to be so. This is can be termed as "a translucent cover up."
"You cover up your arms with you sleeves even in hundered degree heat"
Ha. I can see Conan is speaking from his experience in Texas.
Okay anyways, this line really is self-explanatory, it's an "opaque but somewhat translucent cover-up" if you know what I mean.
Overall summary: Conan Gray (aka my Oxygen) is as broken as we are š

You see all the flowers in the weeds
Youāre scared of the dark when you sleep
You cover up your arms with your sleeves
Even in hundred degree heat
Your father was awfully mean
Your favorite color is green
It reminds you of the summer you turned three
Running through sprinklers on your street
And you laugh and you dance in the wind
And you sway and you hug and you kiss
But thereās darkness behind those eyes
Even when you smile
Oh! Summer child
You donāt have to act like all you feel is mild
You donāt really love the sun, it drives you wild
Youāre lying, summer child
ArŠµnāt you way too busy
Taking care of everybody
To takŠµ care of yourself?
When the sun goes missing
Arenāt the flowers just as pretty?
Arenāt the oceans just as deep?
The trees as green? And as for me
Iāll watch you weep
Oh! Summer child
You donāt have to act like all you feel is mild
You donāt really love the sun, it drives you wild
Youāre lying, summer child

I donāt know who Conan wrote this song about, but it felt like he was speaking directly to me. I feel so much all the time, and Iām embarrassed and shocked by my thoughts sometimes and the horror that Iāll have to explain them to someone eventually. So I really needed these words of comfort, thank you sweet Cone šš

" you don't have to act like all you feel is mild". All my life I having saying well it isn't that bad and others have it so much worse. Even though it hurts so much I always say it is mild and invalidate myself. So hearing those words is like that moment when you get reassurance and your worry just starts to melt away.

Is it just me... or is it that even when you cant relate to every aspect of Conan's songs you still feel like they are made for you like personally? God I love this album so much already!!
