The Surrealist 27,470 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Song: Speechless Album: The Fame Monster "Well, my dad has had a heart condition for about 15 years. He has had a bad aortic valve, and his body for a very long time was only pumping a third of the blood that you're supposed to get every time his heart beat. So he [was] resigned that he wasn't going to get the surgery and told my mother and I that he was going to let his life take its course... And I was on tour and I couldn't leave, so I went into the studio and I wrote this song 'Speechless'. My dad used to call me after he'd had a few drinks and I wouldn't know what to say. I was speechless and I just feared that I would lose him and I wouldn't be there. I wrote this song as a plea to him." - Lady Gaga [Verse 1] I can't believe what you said to me Last night we were alone You threw your hands up Baby you gave up, you gave up I can't believe how you looked at me With your James Dean glossy eyes In your tight jeans, with your long hair And your cigarette stained lies Gaga is talking about her father who was ready to die after having pain. She cannot believe how he could say that to her. [Pre-Chorus 1] Could we fix you if you broke? And is your punch line just a joke? She cannot save him. Gaga is in denial. [Chorus] I'll never talk again Oh boy, you've left me speechless You've left me speechless, so speechless And I'll never love again Oh boy, you've left me speechless You've left me speechless, so speechless She will never love somebody like her father. [Verse 2] I can't believe how you slurred at me With your half wired broken jaw You popped my heart seams On my bubble dreams, bubble dreams I can't believe how you looked at me With your Johnnie Walker eyes He's gonna get you and after he's through There's gonna be no love left to rye. Joe is drunk and Gaga makes a play on words, comparing his eyes to Johnnie Walker [Whiskey] (while previously comparing it to James Dean glossy eyes). [Pre-Chorus 2] And I know that it's complicated But I'm a loser in love So baby, raise a glass to mend All the broken hearts Of all my wrecked up friends Gaga herself drinks to forget about death. [Verse 3] And after all the drinks and bars that we've been to Would you give it all up? Could I give it all up for you? And after all the boys and girls that we've been through Would you give it all up? Could you give it all up? If I promise boy to you That I'll never talk again And I'll never love again I'll never write a song Won't even sing along If Gaga never will love someone again or sing, will her father stay alive for her? [Outro] Some men may follow me But you choose "death and company" Why you so speechless? Oh oh oh She is disappointed. Many men follow Gaga but the one she cares about chooses death. If you liked this Analysis, I will try to make more and better ones. Just write it down in the comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
