Sure, as long as the melodies are good. I liked the emotion and honesty in Dope, but I can only listen to it when I'm not feeling great. 

I mean, 21p do have some upbeat songs but the lyrics are still very honest and raw and mentions the tough stuff like being unable to sleep because of anxiety or depression. Car radio is my favorite example to use because "someone stole my car radio and now I just sit in silence. Sometimes quiet is violent"

That's an amazing line.

Have you not listened to Aura, DWUW (solo), Gypsy...

Yes I have. But what about the stuff she struggles with when she's alone? Anxiety.  Depression. Being unable to sleep. A song for the fans along the lines of "stay alive, stay alive for me."

​Well, let's see if she says something about her 2013 depression in the next album 

If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

​I think Dope is pretty raw and honest. I would love her to write more personal songs like that.

Gaga is being very honest but I think she doesn't wanna write songs about her struggles ''literally''. She talked about it before Swine @ The Itunes Festival. Dope is one exception tho :shrug:

And they don't all have to be as slow and depressing as dope. I mean ode to sleep by twenty one pilots is pretty upbeat but the lyrics talk about some pretty serious stuff

21p are amazing, I need to get into them seriously one of these days.

Yet I think Gaga has some raw songs too. However, I don't think she enjoys writing about struggles openly. Metaphors help her a lot, I belive. Dope, DWUW, Marry The Night, So Happy I Could Die...

It's just with the way she's been dressing and acting lately, it seems like she really wants to be less metaphorical and more raw.

Gaga has some very personal lyrics, Marry the Night for example is very deep and personal. And not just in lyrics, but also the vibe of this song transports emotional tumbling between despair and hope.

BR, Swine, DWYW, Speechless, Judas, Dope, TEOG and others all also very personal. But gaga writes with  lot's of symbolism. I like that Gagas most songs not so lightweight in production and lyrics. But i understand what you want. More feelings and less mechanical vibe. 

Twenty One Pilots have for sure good lyrics, but the vibe from instrumental standpoint is for me personally to clean, light and well-behaved. I do not like when the upbeat content is full of real emotions and heavy human feelings, but the presentation to smooth. Gypsy for example is also very personal, but the production for me personally is to replaceable.

So many radio songs  stitched like that. It sounds like pain for between  and lunch time. When it should be pain for between then with thrillig characteristics like Marry the Night and Bad Romance,  but there are again many symbols and methapors, i personally like them.

It's all a matter of taste.

I understand that. But they're personal for HER. Some songs are very relatable because of the theme of the song. Like bad romance for example being basically a morbid love song. What about literal songs for her fans. I wanna be with you is what I'm talking about. I wanna hear even more about her fears and dark thoughts. I'm sure a lot of Monsters have problems with anxiety disorders?  What about the people dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts?  She can interpret that into a song and I'm sure a lot of people would feel even closer to her emotionally and mentally. Some people need to hear songs relating to the things they struggle with the most and hearing Gaga sing that as a seemingly crazy pop star who they know is so theatrical and creative would mean so much to them. Because Gaga would be getting that struggle out to everyone and more people would understand even a little bit more about how hard it is to live with anxiety and mood disorders. And possibly more people would understand that the people who struggle with that are beautiful too.

How do you define honesty??

She is already very honest and she doesn't need to write songs about several personal issues if she doesn't want to do this.
