* MeaningfulEcho: ''The Brightest Days'' opens with the line, "Where are you, my sunny feeling I knew as a kid? Even on the brightest days, I can't see where you've been!", and the rest of the AlbumIntroTrack is about how he wants to prove that he really ''can'' make the summer meaningful and is determined to enjoy it just like he did back then. This line closes out the mixtape, but as a sad resignation of defeat, since his summer vacation ended up being terrible.

Despite the generally silly song titles (such as "Space Flex T-Skrrt" or "Tom Holland Oates"), Origami Angel's music hits on relatable topics such as childhood nostalgia, making the best out of a bad situation, and standing up for yourself.

* BSODSong: The AlbumClosure track on ''The Brightest Days'', "Few and Far Between", is about the singer's unsuccessful attempt to recapture the magic he found in summer when he was a kid. He realizes that the climate of the world has changed way too much for it to be feasible. Notably, while the album's ArcWords are said in a hopeful tone in the first song, by "Few and Far Between", it's much more defeated and sad.
