vertigostick 2,167 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 She's been talking about darkness and hinting at butterflies lately... I made a research about dark/black butterflies and that theme could TOTALLY fit with revisiting her old corpse and being reborn...! Symbolism and Meaning of Black Butterfly: Metamorphosis: In many cultures, it is believed that black butterflies are the symbol of transition, renewal or rebirth. It is also believed that black butterflies could be a symbol of rebirth of something or people. They are also symbolized for longevity and shift in the power. In short, black butterflies are supposed to be the sign of positive change in the present situation. Death Warning: In various parts of the world including Central America, Philippines, China, black butterflies are considered as a symbol of death. Hence, according to these people, a black butterfly or moth in the house is the warning of death of a member of the house. They also appear in the house when someone in the house has already died. Dead Souls: According to the fascinating (and a bit scary) lores of the land of the Celts or Ireland, black butterflies are nothing but souls of the deceased people. According to Irish people, when deceased people fail to discover their Afterlife, they turn into a black butterfly. Hence, these butterflies can enter the house or properties where they once belonged as a living soul. Witch Camouflage: The infamous witches are also associated while explaining the meaning of a black butterfly. According to the folklores, witches transform themselves into black butterflies so that nobody can recognizes them while stealing various foods that they need to eat! This is especially evident with reference to black butterflies or moths that appear in or around the houses at night. Fire Goddess: According to Aztec mythology, Obsidian Butterfly or Itzpapalotl was the warrior goddess of fire and infant mortality. In historic documents, Itzpapalotl is associated with moths, deer and black butterfly. She is described as the star demon who devours people during solar eclipse. According to iconography, she camouflages in the forms of various creatures and insects so as to stay unrecognizable. Positive Symbolism: No matter whether you believe in the black butterfly symbolism or don't; you can still take out a few positive meanings from the aforementioned butterfly symbolism. At least that is what most of the people do while getting butterfly tattoos. You see, in most of the stories, black butterfly is associated with change, transition, freedom and rebirth. It is symbolized as death - assume it as the death of all the bad things and misfortunes Read more at Buzzle: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/black-butterfly-meaning.html >> Thoughts? Would you be here for "Black Butterfly" (or "Butterfly Black") as an album title?? (Also, this headpiece in G.U.Y. might have been a first hint for the next era... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fame IV 4,426 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I love the theme and it totally matches what she's been saying: revisiting her old self, working as an old corpse. And the butterfly symbolizes her new self, the freedom and liberty to create and explode. Bookmarking this thread A Star is Born ⭐ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hm. I think LG5 will be more about simplicity and more relatable songs. Not feeling this idea of the OP. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister 9,907 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 It is very interesting and Gaga could do much with it. It could also go along with duality, which Gaga plays on a lot. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMonster08 4,528 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I love the idea of reversing Black Butterfly, just like how she turned Pop Art into ARTPOP BUTTERFLY BLACK. A reverse metamorphic experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serendipity 7,821 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Why did I immediately think of Mimi's Butterfly with the title? OT: I think they'll drag her and draw comparisons as usual See talent here-->http://bit.ly/2eqeUxK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Lovegood 23,204 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Rihanna wore a shirt with a black butterfly on it. Rihanna ft. Gaga confirmed. Seriously tho, both Gaga and Riri going for a dark era for their upcoming album. Collab in the works? luna’s advocate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Poof 2,236 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 It's a cool idea! I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eifulien 2,439 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Well this is the first time that someone finds a theme really interesting for me. And all these references and symbols match some of her earlier indications about the album. All your Barcodes, Explicit Beauties, etc. are so pathetic and cringeworthy. But this sounds very beautiful. I can imagine the sound of the album being nothing like previous material she has outed, hence a rebirth for her, and the visuals maybe dark, subtle and elegant. Maybe something that is not over the top, in the vein of Alejandro but less "abundant" so to say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
