When we painted each other's faces and called each other monsters, and talked about love and art all night long. Every year when I travel around the world I always wonder if things will be different. Maybe one year you won't come to the show, or you will be less festive or not dressed up...or something different." "Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others." Example: You hate your sister-in-law but don't want to admit it, so you convince yourself that she's the one that hates you. Or you're in a relationship and are tempted to cheat on your partner, so you accuse your partner of being unfaithful. Or you are ashamed of your secret desire to listen to Katy Perry, so you project this self-hate onto others by dragging every Kety stan you see. Just recall that this is the end of ARTPOP, Gaga's lowest performing era. She's been betrayed by the people around her. She's thinking about quitting the music industry and retiring to her chicken farm for good. But she sees how much her fans still adore her at this final ArtRave show and is thus overwhelmed by a feeling of guilt. Therefore, she projects her personal uncertainties onto us. "I'm sick of this life. I don't want to keep touring. I'm tired of dressing up in crazy costumes and singing about planets. My bones hurt. My zucchinis haven't been watered in weeks. But I can't possibly let anyone know that. These people all love me and I can't let them down." She is ashamed and scared of her desire to quit the music industry, so she projects this fear onto us by making it seem like we will suddenly 'quit' her. Now if you flip the subject of the speech (so that she is no longer talking about the fans, but rather herself), it starts to make more sense: "I hope that I always remember this time in our lives together." [because I really want to forget this, but I can't let you know that] "When we painted each other's faces and called each other monsters [...]" [because I lowkey just want to call you my fans but I can't let you know that] "Every year when I travel around the world I always wonder if things will be different. Maybe one year I won't come to the show, or I will be less festive or not dressed up...or something different." [because I want to throw away the meat dress and the lobster hat and just wear shorts and uggs like a regular gal but I can't let you know that] Reverse Psychological Expedition? Or "Hear My Sinner's Reach (Trump Should be Impeached)"? I've always wondered how things would've played out if "we" (gaga and monsters) never happened. Would the bond still be there? Would little monsters cease to exist? I love you monsters. I'd be unfixably broken without you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engaging in either complimentary and complementary projection can allow people to feel more like others or relate to them easily. Perhaps she realized that her costumes and pretentious mannerisms drifted the demographic she was targeting specifically? However, she has realized that her stature as a celebrity is also a factor in her isolation: Fame has also come at the price of everyday human interactions. "I miss people," Gaga said. "I miss people. I miss, you know, going anywhere and meeting a random person and saying, 'Hi,' and having a conversation about life. I love people." Perhaps that's what makes “Perfect Illusion" such a great choice for a lead single? She knows that taking selfies is not why she's on this Earth. @PunkTheFunk This is what has always broken my heart. She wants so bad to have a normal everyday conversation with the people she meets but she can't because she's "lady gaga" if that makes sense. I love you monsters.

GoldenPonyboy 2,397 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 ARTPOP was just gaga trying to do too many things at once. It had no focus. Still a good album, i just feel like some of the songs got lost because she was too ambitious. I wouldnt read too much into it. Still funny tho. And ARTPOP is still a great album.
