:trollga:

The brilliance of these lyrics, along with the title and meaning behind the song, is that it's all bullshit :hor:

If only fame had an I.V., baby could I bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here

it means fame isn't all it's cracked up to be, it's stressful and painful.

usually when you get an i.v. it's for some sort of anesthetics to help cope with pain, meaning that's the only way she could bare with dealing with fame.

same goes for being away from whoever she's talking about, maybe a lover, fans, family, whoever.

dunno the MTN one, but Alejandro's I took to mean she's got this man ON LOCK. The halo is a wedding ring (in old poetry you find halos being referenced metaphorically as wedding rings because of the shape and biblical connection). So she's saying she's got a ring on her finger (committed relationship) and as such has this guy locked down. Looking at the rest of the verse, she's talking about hidden love. The girl hides her love (she's got both hands/true love in her pockets i.e. hiding), and in doing so has this guy trapped in love with her. That's just how I read it, though. Truly, the only straight forward lyrics in this song are the pre chorus, chorus, and post chorus lines.

and

I've overheard your theory "nostalgia's for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read

:oprah:

She's addicted to fame but it's not material, it's not physical, she can't bear being away from her fans but she has to because she's not always on promotion or touring... If fame was a real drug she could use an I.V. to inject it. So she couldn't be away from her fans as she would have an easy way to be with them whenever she wants. And she knows she couldn't resist the addiction, it scares her but she wouldn't hesitate for a second (I found the vein put it in here is said very quickly, she didn't even finish the sentence before).

I was just talking about this today, how her lyrics used to be much more complex (and cool :trollga:) like in Bloody Mary.

 

We are not just art for Michelangelo
To carve. He can't rewrite the agro of my furied heart.

I'll wait on mountain tops in Paris cold
J'veux pas mourir toute seule

According to Gaga, they (Magdalena, Jesus, the religious figures) were real people, not just characters painted and carved by artists like Michelangelo. Even though he was talented, he can't depict Magdalena's feelings, because art can never show exactly one's feelings.

I don't know whether you're French or not but she's clearly saying "j'veux pas".

She's clearly saying Je ne veux pas at 1:40. She's saying it really fast. It's in the booklet, too. J'veux pas don't make sense at all.

It makes sense, it's just familiar. It's like saying "I'm gonna" instead of "I'm going to". And the booklet says "mourire" so I don't really trust it.

Yes, that's right. :sweat: But for me it sounds like one single word like Jenveuxpas mourir ... But at JWT she's singing something like Je ne pas mourir ... :duck: 

Queen of singing in foreign languages :awkney:

 

Result: She doesn't want to die alone, however she doesn't have to.

Here comes the long list of lyrics I don't get :

Half psychotic, sick hypnotic got my blueprint it's symphonic.
Half psychotic, sick hypnotic got my blueprint electronic.

(is this just nonsense because she's drunk ?)

Love game intuition play the cards with Spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart

It's a play on words with cards, Spades, Hearts... But what does it mean ?

And all those flames that
Burned before him
Now he's gotta firefight
Gotta cool the bad

What flames ?

I can't believe how you slurred at me
With your half wired broken jaw

Half-wired broken jaw... ?

Skeleton guns are wedding bells in the attic

If someone could explain this...

Run, run with the top down baby, she flies
Run, run with the fury of the saint in her eyes
Run, run hide your cha-cha, baby she goes
With blonde hair and a gun smoking under her toes

That's beautiful but wtf ?

A hybrid can withstand these things

A hybrid of what ? Withstand what ?

Lovers' kites
Are flown on beaches for public sight

Why kites ?

Sing at you, I'll
Fly under radar tonight

What radar ?

Well, I say rainbows did more than they've ever done

What did rainbows do ? Did more than who ?

Psychic guru catches minnows in the harbor

What ?

I'm a believer, it's a trial
Foolish and weaker, oh, oh, oh

What's a trial ? A trial of what ? Foolish and weaker than what ?

And choreograph hours with playful, joyous thoughts

How do choreograph hours ? Or does she mean she will be doing choreos for hours ?

 

It's not so long, I think a lot of them have been answered, or I understood them with time. But these one, I could never understand their meaning.

She's asking herself if fame is worth it when she knows she won't be able to be around her lover as much, she decides it is worth it. To the point she's even pointed out a vein!

"Skeleton Gun our wedding bells in the attic"

You use a Skeleton Gun (more commonly referred to as a resin or sealant gun) to use sealant/resin. She's saying to fix the wedding bells.

Interesting! I just thought skeleton gun was something random. But what does fixing wedding bells mean? 🤔
