I feel like Perfect Illusion is her "darkest" song

Many of you may think that TFM and BTW are her darkest works, but for me, a lot of the instrumentals on those albums don't really suit the lyrical content as much as they could. 

On Perfect Illusion, the instrumental is so haunting and ominous, it's just as if you just realized that you're long-term relationship wasn't real all along. It suits the lyrics PERFECTLY. I think this is why Gaga wanted PI to sound like a "punch in the face", because that's what it's like to realize it wasn't love. THANK YOU GAGA. This song is great!!!!!

Edit: What I mean by dark is that it portrays emotional wreckage perfectly. 

The instrumental is definitely one of her best:

Haha, I thought of Bloody Mary and that's why I changed my original post to "a lot of the instrumentals"!

I feel like the emotion she wanted to convey with the instrumental and the vocals was despair. At least that's what I feel when I listen to the song.

I can hear that too, but i'm sure with Gaga there was a sense of anger she wanted to convey as well.

REALITY

Interesting. I've never thought out it like that.

I perceive it as just an awesome rock song about how today's world is littered with "perfect illusions". But, Gaga did say that the song's meaning is up to interpretation, so who knows.

Government Hooker? Bloody Mary? Heavy Metal Lover? 

I think she means dark in an emotional wreckage way. Heavy Metal Lover to me is by far the sexiest song of hers yet.
