CALUM WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US

[aussiexlovexaffair]

my wild prediction based on nothing but vibes & a fever dream: luke has a baby out of wedlock - i’m guessing from like when he’s 30-33.

also ik this is stupid & i don’t wish for it to happen but just in case it does i want it somewhere that i guessed it 🤣

BYE OUT OF WEDLOCK IM CRYING—

i can kiiiinda see that. girl atp everyone should start putting their 5sos predictions in my blog, we here at averyhq are operating on a crystal ball

poor sierra tho like none of my gut feelings are ever good for her but she's so sweet.

[aussiexlovexaffair]

guiltily confession: ik it wld b unhealthy but now i’m wishing arz & luke had gotten together instead of bear. i’m so nostalgic for the 5S0S drama 😭😭

sigh it's awful but i get it. i've had weird moments this week where i'm convinced 2014 is back because of things i'm seeing around me. millennial poncho cardigans, black ripped skinny jeans, flannel, and fedoras all around the mall while old shawn mendes was playing 😭

[aussiexlovexaffair]

i’d b interested in a pt2 for breakdown of larzaylea lyrics. i always think of the mv for lie to me when luke’s in the destroyed car & the others are basically outside waiting for him to get out the car/relationship

yes!! totally, you've given me more incentive to write lolll okay okay here's part 2!

again, all songs i am not sure about the lyrics being about her will have an asterisk before the titles! keep in mind that this is taken out of context, so if you don't think arzaylea influenced the youngblood album, dni!

youngblood (youngblood, 2018): "Yeah you used to call me baby, now you're calling me by name. Takes one to know one, yeah, you beat me at my own damn game."

- this, in my opinion, is the song most about her that 5sos has ever released (besides lie to me).

- in this lyric, luke says the person he's in love with "beat him at his own game" and this could reference how during this time, 5sos was well known for hanging around girls of all kinds (thanks, rolling stones article...) and frequently hooking up with them. the girl in question, who is most likely was written with arz, has been sleeping with other guys or playing him in some way and the change in situation is throwing him for a loop.

"Lately, our conversations end like it's the last goodbye. Then one of us gets too drunk and calls about a hundred times. So who're you calling baby? Nobody can take my place. When you're looking at those strangers, hope to God you see my face."

- again, the lyrics bring up the infidelity in the relationship. the couple seems to fight and then separate, only to find themselves back together in the end after unhealthy events occur between those moments.

want you back (youngblood, 2018): "No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back. No matter how long you're gone. I'm always gonna want you back."

- this is pretty self-explanatory, if not very incriminating.

- even if the girl in the song, which was written right after the break-up, moves on, he will always be thinking about her.

"You know, even when I say I moved on, yeah, I still dream for you."

- the girl and him are both aware of the fact that as much as he might act like it, he'll always be thinking about them.

lie to me (youngblood, 2018): "Flashing back to New York City, changing flights so you'll stay with me, remember thinking that I got this right."

- during the course of their relationship, luke was reported to have issues getting to venues for soundcheck because of arzaylea. this could have been because of guilt that he felt for how his relationship was going. he might have felt responsible for the events taking place because of his fame.

"And now I wish we never met 'cause you're too hard to forget. While I'm cleaning up your mess, I know he's taking up your dress. And I know that you don't, but if I ask you if you love me, I hope you lie, lie, lie, lie to me."

- did luke know about her cheating on him with blackbear? i don't know that myself, but if anyone knows, please reach out through the asks!

- if he did, then we can interpret this as luke fixating on the idea that as much as she is hurting him by cheating on someone, he cannot stop loving her. at that point, even if it's a lie, he needs her to reassure him that she loves him.

- additionally, we can look at the music video for context about the lyrics.

- according to some of their friends, the members of the band did not like arzaylea. if they did in the beginning, it changed very quickly because the three of them were said to have tried talking luke out of the relationship midway through.

- this is shown in the music video when luke is singing in the car and waiting for the other cars to come crashing into his own. he knows the situation is bad, the other members are watching from the side lines with no ability to help, but luke makes no attempt to leave before the crash.

- luke was aware of how his relationship with arzaylea looked from the outside, but he couldn't take the advice of his own band members because a part of him embraced the disaster or at least found comfort in some part of it.

- also, luke is alone in the car. his relationship could've been distant or very cold towards the end or maybe in the moments when they were fighting.

- cars are a VERY popular symbol in their music videos: specifically amnesia, no shame, lie to me, and bad omens.

moving along (youngblood, 2018): "Have you been eating breakfast alone like me? Thinking about you lots, lately. Is it bad that I'm hoping that you're broken?"

- even though he loved her, luke finds himself hoping that she feels at least partly responsible for their relationship's termination. he also hopes that she isn't moving on too quickly and that his grief for their love isn't one-sided.

"Is it wrong if I ask you to come over? Is it wrong if I tell ya that I love ya? Even though I'd never do it when I'm sober."

- the comment about only doing it when he's drunk/intoxicated could bring up the drugs and partying that only increased with his relationship with him.

- their relationship was well known for being on-and-off, even during the beginning of their relationship. the parallels of hoping that she is hurting from the break-up and wanting her to come over showcase this.

"I know I'm the stupid one who ended it and now I'm the stupid one regretting it."

- again, luke feels guilty for the break-up and the next line mentions how the revelation only came to him under the influence. "drunk words are sober thoughts."

more (youngblood, 2018): "If me and you are living in the same place, why do we feel alone? Feel alone? A house that's full of everything we wanted, but it's an empty home, empty home."

- arzaylea was known to brag to her friends about moving in with luke so quickly after the beginning of their relationship. but according to the lyrics, the house is filled with tension and fighting which leaves it less comfortable and home-y than normal.

"Why does it feel like we're missing out? Like I'm standing behind the door. I just wanna get back to us 'cause we used to have more."

- the relationship has so much tension that they both feel like they've changed completely.

ghost of you (youngblood, 2018): "Cleaning up today, found that old Zeppelin shirt you wore when you ran away, and no one could feel your hurt. Too young, too dumb, to know things like love, but I know better now, better now."

- the memories that old items of hers bring up his feelings that he might have previously tried to get over by ignoring. instead of hoping she's hurting like before, he now recognizes how they were both immature and didn't know how a relationship was supposed to function.

"So I drown it out like I always do. Dancing through our house with the ghost of you. And I chase it down with a shot of truth, that my feet don't dance like they did with you." - acknowledging this, he knows that he'll continue to relive their time together, both good and bad, feeling like the mixture of youth and blind love is something that nothing compare to.

monster among men (youngblood, 2018): "Strong hold, it's time for me to admit that I'm an asshole, so here I go. Oh, the stupid truth is that I'm so bad for you. Oh no-no-no, I can't take it. Oh no-no-no, I won't break your heart again. I don't wanna be a monster among men."

- even if luke has thought previously that she was the reason behind all of the relationship problems, it is likely that this signifies him having the realization that his actions during the course of their relationship, were not all healthy.

- as much as people, myself included, like to sugarcoat everything they do, the arzaylea era/2014-18 era was extremely problematic for both the people they associated with and themselves.

meet you there (youngblood, 2018): "No matter where you go, you know I'd wait for you. I would break and bend if you wanted me to."

- his willingness to change his own personality reflects how he might have brushed his own wants and needs under the rug when it mattered. this is backed up by many of her friends' claims.

"So you go your way and I'll go mine. And if we're meant to, I'll meet you there. We can't speed up the hands of time, but if we're meant to love, I'll meet you there."

- even if the time isn't right for them at the moment, the relationship between them is too addicting to pass up, so they both mutually agree that if they meet at another time, they'll reconnect.

babylon (youngblood, 2018): "I see it on your face, a small trace. A blank slate, we've been erased. But if we're way too faded to drive, you can stay one more night."

- the girl's face gives it away to her partner that she is unable to connect with him like before. their use of substances bring back the spark however and give them the opportunity to reconnect.

"We said we'd both love harder than we knew we could go, but still the hardest part is knowing when to let go."

- while the both of them promise each other that they'd give each other everything they had, this can often result in a burn out. after this pinnacle, they have to ride out the high and except they have nothing else to give.

"I'm tired of the feud, your short fuse. My half-truths are not amused. I wish we had a clue to start anew."

- the couple is tired of his inability to communicate properly and how quickly she jumps to conclusions. this mix leads to them blowing up at each other.

-. another hint at miscommunication, a harbringer of jealousy (something luke and arzaylea struggled with), is the word itself "Babylon." the biblical city was so named because of the babbling people who offended God. before, they could understand each other clearly, hoping to make a tower to prove God didn't rule the earth. to punish them, he made them unable to communicate and continue building the tower, each speaking a different language. this references a couple not being able to understand one another when working towards a common goal, the relationship's success.

I CAN DO A PART 3 IF PEOPLE WANT!!! SEND ASKS!

[aussiexlovexaffair]

bf!luke who's been waiting weeks to see you ever since you left Sydney to go visit your family. his mom has been bugging him about the phone bill he's racking up because every waking moment of the last three weeks calling and texting you. with his brother's truck, he now finds himself driving to the airport to pick you up. of course, without any guidance there, it proves to be a much more difficult task than he imagined. darting through suitcases and frantic people, he covers his ear with one hand and uses the other to press his phone to his cheek. "hey, y/n!.. what gate are you at again?" his eyes crinkle up at the sound of your laughter through the phone. "Gate 13A, Luke. We've been over this!.." His head swivels around, taking in his surroundings. Luke clears his throat. "Yeah, well... I got a bit lost." He was at Gate 21F. "I'll be there soon, okay? Just.. don't move!" He waits for you to hang up the phone and he shoves his phone in his pocket, a soft pink dusting his cheek as he eagerly hurries in what he hopes is the right direction to reunite with you.

[aussiexlovexaffair]

[aussiexlovexaffair]

sorry for not uploading, i'm adjusting to how tired propanolol makes me ;p send me asks/headcanons, i'll probs be active for a bit!

[aussiexlovexaffair]

if you feel up to it, could you do a breakdown of luke's lyrics abt arzaylea/toxic relationships?

yes of course! so we know that luke and arzaylea knew each other/possibly dated as early as 2014 and we know that their relationship ended in may of 2017. this means that any unreleased songs between this period may follow their relationship (depending if luke was a cowriter or not) and any songs directly after (specifically the Youngblood album) most likely have been written about his relationship with her. all songs i am not sure about the lyrics being about her will have an asterisk before the titles!

catch fire (sgfg, 2015): "Oh say, can you see? This is not who I'm supposed to be. Without you, I'm nobody killing time. I tried to deceive, tried to win you desperately. Now I'm lost in this swirling sea of your sorry eyes."

- luke's verse talks about about a relationship he pursued but now is starting to go downhill. it's important to understand that SGFG came out in october of 2015 after they started dating and she moved in with him (around july and august of 2015). they had been dating, according to what I know, since august of 2014 and this could possibly suggest he was already struggling in the beginning of it. they became public that same month, though fans had suspected something for months. "I will fight to fix up and get things right. I can't change the world, but maybe I'll change your mind."

- again, this pushes the idea that luke's relationship at the time (he is listed second in credits, and they go by order of most to least active in the writing process) is being strained. he feels obligated to fight for his relationship and do everything to fix what is damaged.

"The words you speak, surrounding me. This broken love in the first degree, the air you breathe is haunting me. Maybe I'll change your mind."

- luke writes about a broken love that, yet again, he has hope he can fix. we know that arzaylea had a habit of making him feel guilty/threatening to harm herself based on what her ex-friends have said, so this could elude to the things she claimed she would do/ the threats she would make when he says "the words you speak, surrounding me." it could mean that he feels guilty about the things she says she wants to do and that it is partially his fault. that's why at the end he says he hopes he can change her mind.

*waste the night (sgfg, 2015): "I don't wanna say goodbye to another night and watch you walk away. I don't wanna let it burn in the city lights and make the same mistakes."

- this song was included just in case, but luke himself is listed lower on the writing credits of the song. additionally, there are more writers on this song than some of the others, so keep that in mind. in the lyrics, they talk about past mistakes and how they don't want to make them again, letting their partner go before they have a chance to reconcile. it could be about arzaylea and a tense relationship with her, but considering how many people wrote this song, i think it was only an influence.

vapor (sgfg, 2015): "I'll take what you got, got, got. I know it's not a lot, lot, lot. Cause I just need another hit. You're the thing that I can't quit. You got what I want, want, want. Here but then you're gone, gone, gone. If you told me that we were through, I know that I would break the truce."

- i'm iffy about this song. this one, like waste the night, has a lot of writers and luke is listed low on the list. however, i believe that a few lines (namely this one) reference her. for example, this one talks about the drug he can't quit. we know for a fact that arzaylea introduced luke into coke and i believe he writes this line associating his relationship with her, though tense, with the feeling that it brings him. in my opinion, that is why the intro mentions the horrible side of the relationship, but then being hooked onto her.

"Make it sound so sweet when you lie to me."

- this to me could reference the manipulation that she was using on him, according to her friends, and how even though he's aware of the toxicity, he can't seem to make himself hate her for it.

*castaway (sgfg, 2015): "Young love, close the chapter, there's no 'ever after'. Fell fast, ended faster. Late night conversations let to complications. Now my heart is in my hands." -. i literally hold a grudge against sgfg because the best songs have the most writers. again, this song has a lot of credits and luke is pretty far down there. but this doesn't mean he wasn't involved in the process. ashton and michael aren't even credited at all, so at some level, his ideas came into play.

-. him saying that they fell fast and ended faster could bring up how they met and how the connection, in his opinion, was instantaneous. we know that they did move quickly! they met in august of 2014 and by july of the next year, she was moving in. additionally, the late night conversations suggest the tension between them and how everything starts well, but they can snowball very quickly. "All your screaming whispers slip right through my fingers. But these memories linger on. Eyes closed, all I see is good times disappearing and I'm trying to hold on."

- this quote from the second verse again brings up how he feels like he's fighting for the relationship even when he sees it falling apart. the "closed eyes" metaphor is also often used to indicate the person doesn't want to see it or is ignoring a problem entirely.

the girl who cried wolf (sgfg, 2015): "Every time you say "It's over." you just wanna start again, it's just lies. The girl who cries wolf every day, ignored by the gravity but in the end, don't ask why."

- we know from her friends and her exes that arzaylea has a habit of lying to get her way, especially in relationships. she is said to have threatened to harm herself when she was confronted about cheating/lying about things, but never going through with it.

outer space / carry on (sgfg, 2015): "Love me like you did, love me like you did. I'll give you anything, I'll give you anything."

- the key part of these lyrics to focus on is "love me like you did." luke, one of the writers of this song, might have been referencing the change he saw in arzaylea and how he wishes it could return to the beginning stages.

i am willing to do a part 2 for youngblood and beyond, but dear god this took awhile sighhhh

but we can def use this as a talking point!

[aussiexlovexaffair]

Bear's ex wife unfollowed him prolly bc he keeps posting Arzaylea in lingerie. He's prolly relapsed. I think the same wld happen if she had gotten her way back into Luke's life but I don't see him forgiving her. Maybe this is just delulu but I think Luke is a lot more grounded than Bear

you think luke would relapse into doing coke or sierra would unfollow him because of pics of arz?

i totally agree with saying luke is more grounded than blackbear!! i think the only ways she has the ability to come back into his life would be if his relationship with sierra was strained and that's the person he's writing songs like "bad omens" about, he hasn't gotten over her and he's still writing about her, OR he relapses with coke.

i trust him and i hope if she tries to come back, he rejects the idea immediately! the only problem i see is that people who have been in abusive relationships of all kinds can glorify their abusers and their relationship and she also introduced him to a substance that's VERY addictive. even if he is clean, i can unfortunately see her using that as a way to get him back too

[aussiexlovexaffair]

Almost 10 years later and I still don't know what Arzaylea's job is lmao

almost ten years later and i still don't think she has one.

[aussiexlovexaffair]

Praying for Luke because I too have the experience of forgiving a narcissist thinking it made me emotionally mature 🙏💗✨😭🤣

sigh haven't we all here in AveryHQ?

*all of us on the narcissist rollercoaster*

[aussiexlovexaffair]

I’m so glad I decided to revisit the arzaylea hashtag & found your blog. I haven’t been a fan of the boys in awhile but please let me share my thoughts w you from when I was a huge fan (and literal child).

It always stuck out to me after the larzaylea split that Sierra seemed to b sucking up to Luke. It was that one tweet of hers defending the boys, how they wouldn’t do anything wrong + are so innocent.

Like first it seems enabling because even back then I felt some of the stuff arz was saying was true. He was musician at his peak he prolly did cheat and he’s a white guy in his 20s likely has said & joked abt some offensive shit.

And second Sierra is sm older I don’t get why she was in her mid 20s and felt the need to insert herself in the drama of freshly turned adults.

He just didn’t seem in a good place when she was pursuing him. But with that being said they’re married and happy so it doesn’t matter what i thought at 14 😂😂😂😂

aww i'm so glad you found me!! you are welcome to share anytime!

for sure, sierra has a habit of making him a lot sweeter than he is. i'm not going to sugar coat it, the boys were definitely doing some fucked up shit back then. luke, even if he is a better person now, absolutely still carries some of that with him and he most likely has aspects of himself that, since then, haven't changed much. even now that they're married, as much as i support them, the fact that he continues to write music about idealizing abusive relationships means either a.) his relationship with sierra is strained and it gives others or even luke himself room to destroy it or b.) he's still hung up on his abusive ex.

neither are great tbh and i feel bad. but it's so true, when you're younger, you feel incredibly jealous of their partners, but as you grow up you kinda just feel bad for their situations.
