The “Twilight” parallels could possibly be interpreted as sinister, given the music’s material.

In fact, the title of Rodrigo’s new music bears a semantic connection to the “Twilight” collection, which focuses closely on a coven of vampires.

However there is a deeper thematic connection at play right here. In “Vampire,” Rodrigo calls out an older man who lured her into hazard, lied with out flinching, and sucked her dry.

“I see the events and the diamonds generally after I shut my eyes / Six months of torture you bought as some forbidden paradise,” she sings within the first verse.

In “Twilight,” Bella is simply 17 years previous when she falls in love with Edward, who’s a vampire.

Edward presents as a 17-year-old boy, however he’s really 104 years previous. Within the solar, his pores and skin sparkles like diamonds; his magnificence is meant to draw would-be victims. He tells Bella repeatedly that it will be harmful and flawed for them to be collectively, however he can not help himself.

By the tip of the collection (spoiler alert!), Edward has turned Bella right into a vampire, too. This course of entails injecting her with venom so her ageing course of stops: her coronary heart ceases beating, her bodily capabilities freeze, and her blood is drained. In different phrases, Edward actually sucks her dry. 

Though “Twilight” is offered as a love story, as an grownup on reflection, it is easy to learn as a tragedy. Bella wakes up in her chilly, lifeless, everlasting vampire physique on her nineteenth birthday.
