Allegiant Songs *spoilers may be included

I Know the Truth
by Elton John

I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
I learned it a little too late

People have faith in me
I think I once did too
I promise whoever has a hold on our lives
I'll see the bad times through


This song really related to the point in my book when the divergents that came out of the city found out that everything they fought a believed in was all just an experiment and that they were several others just like them around the world. Now if I found that out I would not be the happiest camper either. For an example its like if someone told you that going to school was all an experiment and it didn't really matter anymore. That's how the main characters are feeling at this point. Like in the song it says that "I learned the truth and it shocks me I learned it a little too late." That how Tobias feels especially because he has been working so hard to earn everyone's respect and to hide that he was divergent just to find out it was all for nothing. He even has a tattoo covering every inch on his back because of his old life.


 I Think of Iridescent
 by Linkin Park

You were standing in the wake of devastation
You were waiting on the edge of the unknown
With the cataclysm raining down,insides crying save me now
You were there and possibly alone

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go,
let it go.

This song really relates to the ending in Alligent when Tris dies, I think these lyrics relate to what is going through Tobias's mind after that tragic event happened. I found this esspecially in these lines in the song. "With the cataclysm raining down,insides crying save me now." This song I picture would be Tris's message to him after she dies. Her message would be in this line that even though your instint was to alway save her even in the maddness going on around them. He couldn't of saved her even if he tried. " Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go, let it go." In these lines she is saying let go of all your frustration and saddness because it will just hold you down.
