8/9/2023 0 Comments Conan grey memories lyrics![]() ![]() ![]() In one verse, he says, “Cause I hate, like, everyone except for you / Who else is gonna grocery shop with me at 2 AM?” This line is my favorite in the song. Perhaps the most unconventionally endearing song on the album, “Best Friend” is about exactly what it seems to be: the love that Gray has for his best friend. In the chorus, he says, “ What if you freak out / And then we’re losin’ it all at the critical chapter / Where I say, “I love you” and you don’t say it after? / This could be a disaster.” These lyrics show the complexity of thought associated with any relationship, and the panic-justifiable or otherwise-often present. Gray poses potential circumstances in which something goes very wrong, and the relationship turns into, interestingly enough, a disaster. Upbeat and much more of a dancey tune, “Disaster” is primarily about the amount of confusion and panic about every possibility in a new relationship. Immediately upon hearing the song, it’s clear that the energy of it is drastically different from the previous two. The chorus includes the lines, “I want to feel all the love and emotion / Be that attached to the person I’m holding / Someday I’ll be falling without caution / But for now, I’m only people watching.” Similarly to “Movies,” he explains the aspects of a relationship that he longs to have, and as he compares his fantasy to reality, he never fails to hold 100% of my attention. He describes the things he hears in various conversations: he speaks of the happiness shared among people near him. ![]() The lyrics in this song are immaculate in their universal ability to resonate in the mind of the listener. One of the singles off of the album, it follows a working Gray in a cafe, carefully watching the behaviors of the couples in the vicinity. “People Watching” is a song about the pain attached to being surrounded by people in love. ![]() I never hesitate to cry during this song, and it’s such a truly and deeply emotional piece to listen to. In one verse towards the end, Gray goes on a tangent in which he tells of the circumstances that made him fully aware of the fact that it wasn’t healthy, and the pain is clearly audible in his voice. Highlighting the toxicity of his real relationship, he thoroughly imbues the pain of this realization as he repeats, “But we know that’s not what we’re doing / ‘Cause, baby, this ain’t like the movies.” He juxtaposes the two sentiments in such a way that the epiphany isn’t just his anymore It’s mine, too. He imagines love as a pure, perfect fantasy, whereas, in reality, for him, it’s nothing like that. Through the song, he references the idea of love in the movies in comparison to the “love” he has in his relationship. The first notes of the entire album reverberate in the mind of the listener as an echoing Gray sings, “Movies, movies / I want a love like the movies.” He narrates a scenario in which he’s so enamored with someone that everything is essentially infinite and pure, but it’s revealed to all be a fantasy. Each of the 12 tracks depicts a different aspect of the simultaneous pain and passion associated with love in a way so meticulous, it will indefinitely be unparalleled in my mind. Released on June 24, 2022, Superache runs for 40 minutes and 22 seconds just about enough time to truly imbibe every word. His 2020 album Kid Krow was so incredibly emotional and mesmerizing that when he’d announced the release of his follow-up album, Superache, I knew it would be an experience beyond even my wildest expectations. In loving the song itself, I became immediately captivated by the musical genius of Conan Gray, considering the complex meaning of every song he’d written. I once laid in my bed and listened to “Heather” aspiring to be the girl depicted in the song. ![]()
