Byler Confession Song Prediction: "THE FIRST TRUTH"
While the Mike and Will confession is happening, I think a song titled “the First Truth” will play. Oddly specific prediction right? Here’s why:
season 2, episode 6: (timestamp: 8:15)
Murray says this to Jonathan and Nancy at exactly 8:15.
While the Mike and Will confession is happening, I think a song titled “the First Truth” will play, an alternate version of the track: “the first lie”
“The first lie” is what plays when Nancy and Johnathan kiss for the first time, with lights (or rather, electricity) framed behind them in every shot.
But what leads up to this is the Murray call out:
Its no secret that Jancy and Byler parallel each other. It's Byler theory 101, baby. Both groups LIE to themselves (and each other) about their true feelings, by asserting that they are "just friends".
What he says next also applies to Mike
Murray (to Nancy): “You, you’re harder to read. Probably, like everyone, afraid of what would happen if you accepted yourself for who you really are and retreated back to the safety of... Steve. We like Steve. But we don’t love Steve.”
Nancy: “What? No, we- I mean, I-I-I do...”
But at exactly 8:15, Murray tells Jonathan and Nancy that their claim of "friendship" was the "first lie", as they are clearly more than just friends.
Well, On November 6 (the night Will vanishes), the party is forced to end the D&D game early, and Mike's mom eerily points out that it's "fifteen after" while pointing at her watch.
later in the episode, we also find out that Will was supposed to be home by 8:00
Which means that by the time Will left, it was approximately fifteen minutes after eight o'clock. In other words, Eightfifteen.
If the Byler confession, AKA "the first truth" , happens around 8:15 (the time) , this would mirror "the first lie" between Jancy which happens at 8:15 (the timestamp).
And if the song which plays during there confession is called “The First Truth” it would have an insane double meaning. It would refer to both “the first truth” told in the show: (Will telling Mike “it was a 7)
-As well as their confession of love in the upside down (which I believe parallels it).
The upside down, which is frozen at 8:15, on
November 6.
And what do you know, on the stranger things s2 playlist, track number 6 is literally called eightfifteen, followed by track number 7 which is “the first lie”:
In conclusion, “The First Truth” Will happen on November 6 at eight fifteen.
Following "the first truth" confession song (about the Letter and Painting), i think a track titled the "first I Love you will play". This would parallel "The First I love You" (which is a remix of "the first lie") which plays when Mike realizes he's gay after being kissed by eleven while standing in front of an open closet. All the other I titles on the track list are capitalized except for the word "love" on this song specifically. this has to be intentional. The L It's not capitalized because it's familial love between Mike and eleven, not romantic. When "The First I Love You" plays when it’s revealed Mike wrote a letter signed -Love Mike this time the L will be capitalized.
wowza!
tell me i'm crazy, i dare you (i will cry)
