Summer is like fireworks- They're are there for a moment and then they fade into a quiet night, but it's the sole knowledge that you got to see that incredible moment that makes it beautiful. The same with life, just knowing that for some time you enjoyed sleeping, eating tasty meals and having fun with your family is what makes it worth living. It's tragic but also amazing when things don't last forever, because if fireworks were to last forever, they would just turn into noisy, flashy lights that can drive one insane (Or even cause blindness and/or deafness).

The fact that Gravity Falls was there for a brief moment for us to enjoy it is what gives Gravity Falls that tragic beauty of a fleeting summer, which was one of Alex's intentions when he made the series in the first place.
