Absolutely incredible. I respect and admire the time this took. On a separate note - am I the only still shook (in a bad way) that the arraignment of the studio is so different than the dive bar version.  That version allowed the true meaning of the song and the way it was dark and brooding. Ugh. Still love it. I just feel like it was a missed opportunity. 

 

LOVE dive bar !!!! i don't listen to album one

They won't probably say it's his girl unless it's confirmed officially. There's a guy on twitter who says his bf was in texas and saw taylor and the same girl getting really close but i don't know who to trust anymore

Don't forget me when I come crying to heaven's door...

I always thought it was about Natali and one of her relationships and something dramatic that happened at a family dinner. I pictured Gaga going upstairs and writing the song immediately after it happened "had on a pretty little number that I'm wearing still"  But I also thought it had something to do with herself and her exes/Taylor as well... It's written a bit ambiguously!

I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

This is a good analysis, good job! It still breaks my heart to see old TayGa's pictures on instagram. GOSH they were so in love! :toofunny:

What about the chorus tho? She is saying that she doesn't want to break the heart of any other man BUT you (somebody). Isn't she wishing bad things for that particular man? When I hear this song I imagine she saying, "I know I am wrong for wishing bad things, I'm not a bad person, but I pray this man gets what he deserves, I can't help feeling this way" or something like that. I always think of the guy who raped her. I don't think she would wish bad things to happen with Taylor.

I am not native in english, I could be reading the sense of the chorus in a wrong way.

I see what you're saying :oprah:

I interpreted the "I don't want to break the heart of any other man but you" as "I love you so much that I only want to break your heart and not anyone else". The act of breaking someone's heart is deeply intimate -- it ties you with that person forever because they'll remember you for the rest of the life.

I don't even know if that makes sense :laughga:

I only read half the thread so sorry if this has already been said, but here's how I interpret that line after reading Punk's theory: she has to break Taylor's heart to find out what she's really missing and needs so she doesn't break the next guy's heart. "I don't wanna break the heart of any other man but you" could be interpreted as "any other man after you."

This actually makes 10x more sense than anything I came up with

My favorite song on the album :diane:. Really interesting and credible interpretation but I feel like most of the time her lines aren't necessarily so close to events that happened in her life. Like, the "wearin' you still" line and her still wearing that same outfit.

Maybe the love affair, Taylor, is the "pretty little number" she's still wearing. From the "saying forever too fast" line, I'm guessing he fell madly in love with her and she loved how he loved her more than him personally. He says forever too fast, like he says "I want to be with you forever" before she really knew what she wanted. She's surprised she's stuck with him this long and not tried another man. Clearly she still doesn't know what she wants. 

Edit: And in John Wayne, the lines

"Two lovers, headed for a dead end
"Too fast, hold tight, he laughs
Runnin' through the red lights"

Maybe this is a metaphor for their relationship, that things were moving too fast for her but he brushed off her concerns and kept going like it was nothing. Not completely related to the post I quoted but needed to add.
