Hi everyone. My basic premise is that the plot of the Twilight series was jacked more or less directly from lyrics of Metallica songs, specifically their 2008 Death Magnetic album.
I know that's entirely irrational, as the books were all published before the album came out, but with some creative interpreting, you can see that there are some striking similarities.
I'll be writing my essays (well they're not essays so much as dissertations) in the order of the tracks as listed on the album. Depending on how these are received, I'll be diversifying into other Metallica songs and probably other bands as well, should I find anything that with enough creative interpreting could vaguely resemble Twilight; although at the moment, Metallica's the only band that stands out.
The track order for Death Magnetic is as follows:
That Was Just Your Life
The End Of The Line
Broken, Beat & Scarred
The Day That Never Comes
All Nightmare Long
Cyanide
The Unforgiven III
The Judas Kiss
Suicide & Redemption
My Apocalypse
Each chapter will begin with the lyrics of the song, followed by my interpretation or whatever you want to call it. The lyrics will be separated into verses (bold), choruses (italics), bridges (underlined), and any deep and meaningful statements that might have been tacked on the end of stuff for effects (italicised bold).
I recommend listening to the songs either as you're reading the chapter, or prior: it adds to the humour somewhat as you realise that the lyrics only sound all deep and meaningful when they're written out. When you hear them being sung, especially with the accompanying instrumentation, you see that they do not, nor could they ever, have anything to do with twilight.
Here goes nothing…
