#elmike lyrics

[gayofthefae]

The sad thing about the Mike and El parallels in season 4 is that it's because they're both having their hearts broken at the same time.

El's is being broken by Mike. Because Mike's is being broken by Will.

They're in this together, in a way - as friends. Both getting their hearts broken at the same time. It's a rite of passage, isn't it? That's what Fifteen by Taylor Swift is about, isn't it?

"Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday but I realized some bigger dreams of mine. And [Mike] gave everything [he] had to a boy who changed his mind. And we both cried. 'Cause when you're 15 and somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them."

And there's something so soul crushingly beautiful in how platonically in sync they are by being so romantically out of sync. El and Mike are having their hearts broken at the same time. Like best friends. But El's boyfriend is having his heart broken by someone else. It should never have been in anyone else's hands to begin with.

He's breaking her heart by getting his heart broken.

So of course it culminates in the worst kind of solidarity within that.

In another universe, they would have cried together over the boys who broke their hearts, and I know that.

I wish they were friends in every universe.

[CLOSED] Computer broke down

I am desperate for writing requests. I want to get back into writing again, so what better is there to do?

I’m open to any fandom, as long as I know it. If it’s for a specific pairing, please make sure I’m okay with it!

I can take any type of writing request, but one I love doing especially is making a one shot to the lyrics of a song!! I mostly want to do Taylor Swift songs, but I can take anything.

sooo i was thinkg about the fact that almost ONE byers is in this scene with elmike bc there is byers family car, right?

so jane cant drive we know that, that means that there is another byers (joyce, jonathan, WILL) and it really can be any of them BUT i was watching that wsqk just post the lyrics of boys dont cry and if it isnt will byers idk what it is lmao

IM NOT 100% SURE THAT THIS IS A OFICIAL ST ACC.

but cmon why mike would run faster than jane if isnt for will byers?

Breaking my silence

I guess fandom doesn't take leaker maire3xx on X too seriously. But I do, I buy it - like 72% buy it, who would want to be sure. People brought the counter argument that they said Lucas would die in S4, but they claim they just hinted hints about shit getting real in the Creel house, that was taken as Lucas dying. Which from the way they talk I can believe? Are there better counter arguments?

Here a summery go what they said for S5:

Byler endgame, it happens in E5

Before that there is a scene that WILL make us cry best described by the saddest Adele lyrics ever "Please, stay where you are, don't come any closer, don't try to change my mind, I'm being cruel to be kind. (O MY GAWD) I can not love you in the dark, it seems like we're oceans apart" And it's Mike -> Will, so get ready

Emotionality of the Byler arc is 10 out of 10

Emotionality of the Elmike arc, which they described as 💔 is 8/10, Scene on the rooftop is "very emotional!

Will gets so possessed, like they won't shut up about it. completely super constantly possessed. No powers but when possessed. Dangerous and veiny when possessed, which he so is. Like fr.

Vecna gets involved in the love triangle in that he wants to break it up. To isolate them.

Will in the bts pic is a spoiler because plot and time jump, we'll get it when we watch the show.

The Sinclairs move away and Lucas is not in Hawkins High to be bullied alongside Dustin and Mike. The Sinclair siblings insert themselves into the plot somehow using Erica's friend Tina. Lucas is then hyper focused on Max. Caleb has not filmed yet (or when they said this not so long ago)

Max is playing a large part in not the real world. Which might be for the best... Sadie has filmed one scene.

Eddie is back. Just is.

No conflict between Mike and either Dustin or Lucas, they're tight. And also have scenes with the 3 of them.

Stonathan BFF, Rockie is happening, duh. Lots of new interaction, half the cast at the barn and also radio station. (not Lucas tho) Everyone is closer to everyone.

El gets a happy ending.

Jonathan dies. No, he doesn't! Or does he? (I'm telling you they are sometimes playing, but dear god I hope Jonatan doesn't die.

Mike is in danger, his plot in 4 emojis: 🔻⚠️❤️🗡️

Wills arc in 4 emojis (he possessed) 👦🏻 👁️*hand I can't find*❤️ ( hand might say stop or be laid on someone's chest?)

Idk I can work with all that. Unless Jonathan dies, then I hate this show!

I love making everything about byler and Taylor Swift's "folklore" (my favorite Taylor Swift album) In folklore, there is a love triangle between Betty, James and Augustine. And Taylor herself said that "Betty and James ended up together but he put her though it." But they willelmike love triangle goes a little bit differently.

How the folklore love triangle goes is, Betty and James were together and had a falling out (but didn't break up) Then, he went away for a summer and cheated on Betty with Augustine. And after that summer, James shows up at Betty's party and apoligizes, Betty ends up kissing him on her doorstep (in front of all her stupid friends) and start dating again. Eventually, they "end up together" But. this is where byler and El come in. How I think, Mike is James, Will is Betty and El is Augustine.

The folklore love triangle is a musical parallel to Mike's relationship with El and Mike. This is why:

Will has been with Mike from the start, just like Betty and James. While, yes, Mike and Will have never dated, they've been best friends since kidergarten (i think) and they've been friends the longest out of anyone else is the party. While they have also had several falling outs but Mike has always been the one, at Will's door, apoligizing to him and begging for forgivness.

Now it's time to talk about El. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of the bylers that hates El, I love her. BUT, she was and is Augustine. She hasn't been there (with Mike) as long as Will has. She's basically a disraction for Mike in a romantic sense. And, hear me out on this, I think Mike is basically using El as a shelid. To cover up his interilalized homophobia and so he dosen't get picked on, so he isn't a target.

Time for lyrics breakdowns! (I have alot of headcannons about these lyrics but I'll try to keep these as close to canon event as possible)

"i knew you" -cardigan

Like I said, Will has been there from the literal start and he knows Mike better than anyone. a n y o n e.

"a friend to all is a friend to none. chase to girls, lose the one." -cardigan

We all know Mike hates being or feeling alone, espically without Will. (See all of Season 1) And I think he knows that he loves Will (that he's in love with Will) but he's too scared to pursue Will because he might lose El or Will or both of them. Also, I do think Mike needs El but not as much as he needs Will.

"but i'd knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss. i'd knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs." -cardigan

(i can't help but sneak a hc in here but idk if it is bc i might be canon already) I think that Will has stayed up late at night, just thinking about why he likes Mike and how he's never going to like him back. Why does Mike have to linger in his thoughts?

"i'd knew you'd miss me wants the thrill expiered and you'd be standing in my front porch light." -cardigan

This lyric reminds me of the aftermath of the rain fight in season 3, where Mike (with Lucas) stood in the pouring rain and basically almost kicked down the door, begging Will for forgivness (and later rain though the dark fucking forest, still in the pouring rain, to find Will and make sure he was okay.)

"cause you were never mine." - august

El has to know about Mike and Will at this point. She isn't dumb. This is highlighted in the "You never say it" scene. She knows that Mike isn't loving her the way she wants/needs to be loved, but she knows that Mike loves Will the way he needs to be loved.

"i remember thinking i had you." -august

While I think El knows, I think this is a new(er) realization. I think this was as nesw as that "you don't say it" and airport scenes. And just a friendly reminder that Mike only said "I love you" to El with Will's encouragment.

"and say, meet me behind the mall. so much for summer love and saying us. 'cause you weren't mine to lose." -august

This entire lyric reminds me of season 3 elmike and the whole "I dump your ass" scene.

"betty, one time i was riding on my skatebaord when i passed your house, it's like i couldn't beathe." -betty

(another hc im sorry) i 1000 percent think that Mike would go back to the Byers' old house after they moved. And everytime he felt like he was gonna cry so hard he would throw up.

"the worst thing that i ever did, was what i did to you." -betty

We all know Mike regretted the whole "it's not my fault you dont like girls" thing. (y'know banging on his door, running though the woods. all the stuff i already brought up.) But he proably also lies awake at night after Will moved away, staring at the celing, thinking about what he said, replaying it in his head, wondering why he was such a bad fucking friend.

"slept next to her but, i dreamt of all sumer long." -betty

I definitly think that Mike realized his liked Will in season 3 but got back together with El and that's when he started using her as a sheild.

I love the folklore love triangle and willelmike. i even write a whole one shot about byler and the song betty. (ill proably post a poll abt that to see if yall wanna read it.) ive been wanting to write this for a while so thank you for reading! and let me know if i missed anything so i can add onto this. i love you! bye!

your elmike cruel summer set??? >>>>>> it's so amazing i love when they're messy and it's so pretty and well-blended i am in awe!!

😭😭 you’re too kind! (the set in question for everyone else who sees this) Blending is the skill I find the most challenging to master tbh, so hearing people like what I’ve managed to learn of it truly warms my heart 🥰

But !!! Tbh El & Mike’s current dynamic is SO messy and honestly it’s such a fascinating thing to watch them fall apart for me?? Like? Honesty Hour but: I’m def more into the mess, hurt and blended levels of damage they’ve done and continue to do to each other than them being besties post breakup. I’ve even written metas on it LOL

Anyway!! Thank you for the ask! Hopefully I can find them to do more blended sets (maybe with more Taylor lyrics I think apply even haha) ✨

High Infidelity for Mike Wheeler >>>>

You know, there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love. The slowest way is never loving them enough.

Do you really wanna know where I was [March 24th]?

Do I really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?

Do you really wanna know where I was [March 27th]?

Do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?

...I didn't know you were keeping count.

But oh, you were keeping count.

[alex-the-bringer-of-chaos]

Okay gang, I know I've been gone, but I present to you a banger of a song that is milkdud break-up

This! This is art - like everything skz does fecking talented group. Anyway, just check it out and tell me the lyrics and vibes don't match mutual break-up elmike. That's right, you can't.

But yeah, this is a jam and it fits and I had to say it, what can I do when the byler brainrot mixes with being a stay, yeah impossible!

Cool by Gwen Stefanie could definitely be an Elmike in the future song thats all.

[blueeandyellowmakesgreen]

i just love that bylers are so on board with all the music analysis/predictions. like. yes to dancing queen playing to the party´s cariie moment. yes to bizarre love triangle as a realization song for our own elwillmike bizarre love triangle. yes to boys don´t cry being will´s running up that hill. yes to should I stay or should I go being the comeback for s5. yes to tainted love and don´t you want me being elmike healthy breakup where they finally become friends again. yes to just the smalltown boy theory. yes to heroes by david bowie. yes to any of the smith´s songs being a byler song. yes to song choices that match up the show´s vibe and lyrics that match up the characters storyline. we may reaching and we may be crazy but we´ll go crazy yogether

if NONE of these feature in s5 im actually suing. like genuinely

[wyrmwhispers]

little lion man by mumford and sons is very mike wheeler coded fight me

but it was not your fault but mine/ and it was your heart on the line/ i really fucked it up this time/ didn't i my dear

although personally i read this as byler (cause im a byler) you could also read this a midleven or even platonic elmike i think that those lyrics really fit a lot of mikes relationships in general

your grace is wasted in your face/ your boldness stands alone among the wreck/ now learn from your mother/ or you’ll spend your days biting your own neck

now the first two lines just scream mike and his hero complex to me. the last two makes me think of his mother being stuck in a loveless marriage and if he doesn't ‘learn’ from her he could be too

weep for yourself my man/ you'll never be what is in your heart/ weep little lion man/ youre not as brave as you were at the start

again i feel like mike wants to be this brave hero, this knight but he cant. he’s never quite as brave as he tries to be.

tremble for your self my man/ you know that you have seen this all before/ tremble little lion man/ you’ll never settle any if your scores

i cant say much about the first two lines but the last two i can. despite how he tries he's never quite enough so he’ll never settle any of his scores.

You’re Losing Me is ElMike 4x03 fight coded. There. I said it. Begging to be loved actively not passively and “say something” “risk something”

“And the air is thick with LOSS and INDECISION”
