lmol analysis Malec Version from Taylor's TTPD (again this is the breakup period)
I have many feelings
"Oh, what a valiant roar
What a bland goodbye
The coward claimed he was a lion"
This is the line that reminds me of Alec the most, he tried so hard to be brave, to be sure of and to commit to his relationship with Magnus. But he was so scared after all, all those years of repressing his identity and putting himself second weren't just going to go away, and he caved under Camille's temptation and manipulation. Not enough to be a betrayal, but just wavered enough to hurt his lover's heart.
"In your suit and tie, in the nick of time
You lowdown boy, you stand up guy
Holy Ghost, you told me I'm
The love of your life"
THIS. THIS IS SO ALEC. Throughout the course of his relationship with Magnus and the war, he grew from a moody insecure teenager to someone who was responsible, braver, honest and much more happy with himself. Granted, he still had his insecurities, but just imagine Magnus looking at Alec in a suit at some formal event and noting how much he's grown
"When your impressionist paintings of Heaven
Turned out to be fakes
Well, you took me to hell, too"
I interpret this line as Alec's Nephilim lineage supposedly being superiorly holy, yet rendering him unable to be himself. This pains Magnus, because when the supposedly morally superior Shadowhunter turns out not be morally perfect, when the one you love most hurts you because he is weak in the places that you are weak too, that hurts.
"You said I'm the love of your life
About a million times"
*sobs*
"You talked me under the table
Talking rings and talking cradles
I wish I could un-recall
How we almost had it all"
THIS. THIS. I DONT KNOW HOW I WILL COME BACK FROM THIS. THANK GOD IT DIDNT STAY TRUE
but they almost had it all *screams*
Magnus I bet you talked about that under the table
Imagine Alec just trying to get over how he almost had the love of his life
Some comparisons-
"I felt aglow like this
Never before and never since"
*gasp* the semi-loveatfirstsight at the party
"But I felt a hole like this
Never before, and ever since"
YOU KNOW WHO FELT A HOLE
YOU KNOW WHICH TWO PEOPLE FELT HOLES??? EVER SINCE A BREAKUP AND 'NOT LIKE THIS' BEFORE???
"If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary
You and I go from one kiss to gettin married"
"If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary
What we thought was for all time was momentary"
This line kills me. Magnus really considered being together with Alec forever (or ending his own mortality), and it just poof went away. And it would have seemed so short compared to the lifetime he lived, but WE ALL KNOW HOW TORN HE WAS OVER IT
"Dancing phantoms on the terrace
Are they second-hand embarrassed
That I can't get out of bed?"
Magnus TAT TAT TAT he definitely couldn't get out of bed, and was definitely feeling like a failure for fumbling his 500 year old younger lover
"You cinephile in black and white
All those plot twists and dynamite
Mr. Steal your girl boy, then make her cry"
Who's a cinephile and who's full of plot twists and winding stories and stole Alec's heart? A certain warlock, I think. High-key stole Alec when he was hung up on Jace. Also though I support Magnus for going no-con during breakup period, Alec probably had anxiety over his phone like the second-most in the entire series(the first being Jace bc his parabatai is trying to get himself killed every two seconds). I can't how many time bby boy was just pining over his phone
"Who's gonna tell me the truth
When you blew in with the winds of fate
And told me I reformed you"
Alec really didn't know the weight of a relationship with an immortal entailed. Izzy and Jace and Clary all thought the relationship was great for him, which it was, to help him grow into a better person, but, no one could have warned him about the looming anxiety of becoming an insignificant piece in Magnus' long line of histories. And Magnus definitely told Alec how much he meant to him, but like Alec rightfully called him out on, didn't want to talk about the obvious gap between what Alec knew and what Magnus had experienced.
"I'm combing through the braids of lies
'I'll never leave' ..."
Alec probably thought this. Sniff sniff.
"Our field of dreams, engulfed in fire
Your arson's match your somber eyes"
DO YOU REMEMBER MAGNUS' DREAMS?! DO YOU REMEMBER THEM HUH!HOW HE DREAMT OF FIRE?? and boy does Magnus have somber eyes
and their relationship went up in flames before the war started
"And I'll still see it until I die
You're the loss of my life"
WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If one of them had somehow not survived during the war, or not have gotten back together after, they would be the loss of each other's life. This would be for Alec's mortal life and Magnus' immortal one.
I said, "I don't mind, it takes time"
I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed
Alec, when he first met Magnus; or Magnus, when his eye was caught. They both were cautious, and were both willing to try it out slow. I don't think any of them expected it to go as far as it did, BUT THEY COULDNT HELP IT
"Who's gonna stop us from waltzing
Back into rekindled flames?
If we know the steps anyway"
YES. Please do so. Honestly I don't think even if they were still broken up after war, they could've resisted getting back together in the following years. But thank the Angel that wasn't the case. I rest my case.
THEY ARE EACH OTHER'S LOVE OF THEIR LIVES. THE END.
maybe it's because he's a christ figure that he makes me so insane. man of sorrows acquainted with grief like a lamb led to the slaughter he opened not his mouth etc etc
