Relating Midnights to Renegades
Warning this might be long and have spoilers for the entire trilogy
This song talks about a private (maybe even secret) relationship.
How can this be related to Nova and Adrian? Nova could have felt like this when she was in Adrian's basement "staring at the ceiling with you"
"I've been under scrutiny You handle it beautifully All this shit is new to me" She has been observing everything the Renegades (including Adrian) did, and she felt so good in the jungle with him, everything was new to her, to feel safe, comfortable talking about her traumas, and feeling like she was important and unique enough for someone to make her a dream come true (literally)
"I feel the lavender haze creepin' up on me" when she falls asleep and the feeling of need that was growing inside her, the necessity of that to be real, to be more than just a little time.
"Surreal, I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say" THE ENTIRE JUNGLE SCENE WAS SURREAL TO EVERYONE, and yes, was damned when she thought about her mission with the anarchist, why she was there, not to spend a nice time with Adrian.
"I just wanna stay in that lavender haze" "For a moment, for the slightest of moments she wished to stay there, to cuddle with Adrian on the sofa and sleep some more time" or something like that, the point is clear anyway.
"All they keep askin' me Is if I'm gonna be your bride The only kind of girl they see Is a one-night or a wife" the Anarchyst, maybe. This can go along with the "1950's shit they want from me", basically the plan was she needed to make Adrian fall in love with her.
"I find it dizzying They're bringin' up my history But you aren't even listening" The days Nova was in Cragmoor, you can´t tell me there weren't rumors about her even if it isn't mentioned in the books, I bet everyone was saying stupid things about why she had done it and yk how rumors are, but Adrian never paid them so much attention, bc even though she was Nightmare he still believe he at least knew some part of her, and Nova wouldn't have liked to know that everyone was talking about her.
"I just need this love spiral" She just wanted their love to work so badly.
"Get it off your chest Get it off my desk" Just get done with it and be happy with no more concerns
And that's all. Hope i'll do another one soon
