Duella Dvil 10,492 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I love the song, it is one of my favorite songs on this planet. It got my life back on track from a drug and sex induced emotional coma. I legitimately became apathetic about the entire world. didn't care for my future. Just was going from high to low to hookup to hookup... being used, abused, and at one point date raped, another point dragged behind a bar and raped... Never telling anyone, I didn't care. I wasn't me anymore. I didn't want me anymore. So a little over a year after the album came out I actually listened to the song, it was February of 2015 and the song came on and I was smoking a joint, scrolling through grindr, my typical night. And I just ****ing listened, when the song came out I listened for Gaga, I felt it for her. This time I felt it for me. I cried so ****ing hard. I had lost my family, my friends, my scholarship... myself. I loved this song when it came out, but I was saved by this song. This song saved me in a way Born This Way never could. That's why I got this tattoo on April 1st of 2015. It is a promise to myself that I need MYSELF more than drugs, I need MYSELF more than men. Toast 1 Last Puff 2 Last Regrets 3 Spirits and 12 Lonely Steps Up Heavens Stairway To Gold The numbers, by some kind of illuminati magic, are the address of the home I grew up in. 12312. So it is also a reminder that I was wrong, when I thought I lost my family, I was wrong. They took me back, they embraced me and took me in for all that I am, I got my family back. I found love the following summer in my boyfriend of now 1 year and a half... etc my life is on track and if it wasn't for this song... I might be homeless doing heroine in some weird alleyway... So anyways, how can anyone honestly hate this deeply personal song. I don't get how anyone has anything but love for this song, it's such a universally relatable track about overcoming obstacles that hold you down and make you feel broken. I love you guys, thanks for reading. www.instagram.com/theduella666 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not The Real Gaga 7,512 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Aaawh, this story! Respect, bro! I really love Dope and its emotional meaning. I think most of the fans doesn't want to see her making such songs, only the classic pop songs. But Dope, is just... uuhm, ... really dope. It's great!

Yo GagaGaga 6,541 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Everyone who hates dope is bitter that she changed it from the demo version, I prefer the album version so much more, it has so much more meaning to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnishGypsy 921 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Don't worry about what anyone else thinks of the song...it sounds like Gaga wrote it just for you. Best of luck on your continued path. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeeshy Keety 9,908 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 The first Gaga song that gave me a real emotional response was TIHTY when she sang it for the BB Woman of the Year (Hair and BTW were inspiring but not exactly emotional for me). I was floored, but I have never had an experience remotely close to the same level as the song, so I still couldn't relate to it. I'm not sure if coming out released something emotionally (I only just did it in March ), but Joanne had me sobbing that first week. Four tracks brought me to tears on my first listen, and I really connected to the lyrics of the song Joanne and Grigio Girls. I'm never one to ogle over lyrics, but they were so powerful. I'm sorry for what happened to you, but I'm amazed at how a song changed your life so much. People joke about "ha impact," but I just love seeing proof of it They / Them 🏳️🌈 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSUNAMI 20,935 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I get you. I was in the same position (I have not been raped but somewhat abused). But you're a figter, like me.

babs 5,093 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 A lot of fans prefer I wanna be With You because it talks about Gaga and them, but the truth is Dope is a song that is relatable in a whole another different level and can actually have a huge influence in your life like it did. #TeamDope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love you guys, thanks for reading. *hugs*. You're so incredibly strong. I remember being in detox just begging the nurse to just kill me because the pain was so great. I always rolled my eyes when people said an album changed their life. I rolled my eyes until BTW came out and then I totally understood. That album saved my life in more ways than one. People say it's creepy that I have tattoos dedicated to the BTW album but they just don't understand. Until they've been judged, they don't know what it's like to have someone who "gets" you. Until they've hated themselves so much that they wanted to die, they don't know what it's like to have someone who cares enough to say "please don't go". Until they've felt unloved, they don't know what it's like to have someone who loves them unconditionally flaws and all. I love you monsters. I'd be unfixably broken without you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might break without you. I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone". God that song makes me ugly cry. The bond we share is indescribable to those who aren't monsters. You have to be a part of it to understand. My best friend Mandy always gets teased because she sends gaga a Mother's Day card every year. As she always says "you can't put a price tag on unconditional love". I know Gaga just melts reading Mandy's cards. She'll always be mama monster. She had asked me the other day "God forbid but if gaga ever had to chose between her career or us, who do you think she would chose?" Without missing a beat I said "she'd choose us. Just listen to I wanna be with you. Yeah she might be broke as hell if she had to choose between us or her career , barely scraping by, clipping coupons and making every penny count but she'd have us. She couldn't imagine life without us. It would rip her heart out. I love you monsters. I'd be unfixably broken without you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilkSpectre0 547 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thank you for sharing your story with us. That's a beautiful tattoo and so cool that the numbers also relate to you. Dope is such a beautiful song although I can see how if you can't relate to it you might find it a downer. I've been addicted to alcohol and pot for years self medicating my ptsd and when I heard dope it was like this wake up call. I'm not sober yet but I'm getting there and that song makes me feel less alone on the path Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
