"I am not a receptacle for your pain"

[Katie14 4,828]

"... or a place for you to put it in"

Was Gaga referring to getting raped when she said this? What do you think she means?

 I feel like she is saying that she is sick of men using her, either physically or emotionally, to make themselves feel better about themselves and more powerful.

She doesn't mean put *it* in, it's just a repetition of the first half of the statement ("I am not a receptacle for your pain", a receptacle being an object or space used to contain something). I would assume that she does not want people unloading their pain onto her.

You know how bullies are usually in pain themselves and that's why they mistreat others? My guess is it's something like that. She doesn't want to do blow, have sex parties, etc, which is all stuff producers do to cope with an emptiness and/or ego that fortune brings upon some people. She views it as negative, painful even, and wants no part of it.

At least that's my guess 

Spoiler

I'm half asleep though I hope this made sense

I think she meant that those producers want sex, drugs, etc from female artists and she's not about all that. I think it's kind of like she doesn't want them to project their issues onto her.

This makes me think of the fans that unload on her too.

yes, this. gaga probably meant projected anger or insulting behavior at her.

I relate it to a friend of mine who drinks too much...

Every time we went out he insisted we drink as much as him even when we didn't want to...aka...you want me to feel the way you do so you're "not the only one" and can feel better about yourself and not face the reality of your issues

Sorry..dont project your drinking issues onto me...i just came for a simple night out

Gaga is saying the same thing in reference to producers wanting sex, drugs, etc...from her. She's just there for the music
