SEANGT 5,333 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 This interview after AHS gives us a hint about what Perfect Illusion is really about: “I am finding a million new things about myself, what I want and who I want to be but most importantly, I have actually found a place to put so much pain and anguish that I have nowhere to put. You can put it in your music but that’s not always what people want from me in my music… They want a sweet, delightful, ‘Just Dance’ kind of girl or they want ‘Bad Romance’ and that’s fine,” she told the publication. “I am happy to give people that but maybe with my song ‘Dope’ or some of the things I did on ARTPOP, you saw a kind of dark side, wrapped up in colors. But maybe that was not always what people want to see. They want to see the perfection… it’s the imperfection that is the win.” She's throwing her hands up at the world and saying "if perfect is what you want - i'll give it to you. But it will be an illusion." Wondering what this means for the sound...the VIDEO?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALITY 77,197 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The more I think about it, I'm sure that this is what it's going to be about. Plus, we've always said that this would be a more candid, authentic, true album, so I'm super excited to see what's in store.

youandi 2,110 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 As long as it's not all 'you've got to be a celebrity to relate to this song' because that's one of the main things people drag her for having songs with little relatability. Personally I don't mind though, if it's a good song it's a good song! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading an article and they put that in there and it was a big eye-opener. She's really telling it like it is even just with the title. People want perfection - but they really don't. They want to see the illusion of perfection - and they want to see it all fall away - over and over. It really has themes that go back to the fame and her 2009 performance, but in a more general way. She's sneaking in and making a theme about fame again! Love it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan 2,051 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Isn't that the same kind of concept as DWUW? I mean I'm here for it, just making a connection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all of her songs kind of deal with this so I suppose it's not really groundbreaking, but we didn't really know what she was going to pull out of her hat for this for the past 3 years so it's something that she's continuing this thread. From the iheartradio interviews/listening reviews it sounds like she's hemming this more closely to her love song jams that have a second meaning than the more explicit way of her lyrics from ARTPOP, and in some ways Born This Way.
