Guest Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Cutting of someone else's hair means them losing their identity/opportunity to express themselves through their hair. At least that's what I get. I really love BTW's lyrics. "This is who I am, this is who the fuck I am" was Gaga's response to people saying that the lyrics are very straight forward/literal. Hair shows that the most and I absolutely love it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katharine Hepburn 4,607 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 17 minutes ago, Totodile said: But as for that specific lyric, I believe Gaga said that her mom didn't chop her hair of completely, but instead just cut of the frizzy ends because Gaga didn't want to do it herself That makes way more sense.

AlexanderLevi2 5,849 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think it's more of a metaphor. Hair is something you can change to express yourself and by her mother (an authority figure) cutting it off represents stripping someone of their creative and aesthetic identity to conform to societal expectations. Or maybe she was just pissed at her mom Currently listening to Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacify Him 9,073 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Just like Bad Kids, I guess. About teenage rebellion and the inability to express yourself in full. Both songs are boring to listen to tho I’m getting on your nerves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShockPop 7,747 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It's about pubes and that line is about a metaphorical pubic hair cut which would keep the protagonist from growing up. She referenced this with her teal pubes, then her wig made of chers pubes. Honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronk 14,092 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 1 hour ago, M Monstre said: I also found that line really interesting. It may be open to interpretation, but I just thought of it as way to strip someone of their identity. In the song, her hair is a metaphor for her identity, so since her mom cut of her hair—in the song—it could also represent how some parents deny their children's identity. Yes, it's about keeping your identity and fitting in with your friends. It's about your parents and your friends accepting you for who you are. "I just want to be free, I just want to be me" I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cowboy 11,664 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I understand your reading of it, im sorry you have to deal with immature comments. Anyway its probably one of those double things that can be this or that. You arent wrong its just art. It could mean anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
