a few months ago there was this thread about 'fav gaga lyrics' and someone posted their interpretation of SHICD lyrics which i thought was really inspiring. i believe it actually was a link to another forum. i remember it being about masturbation/addiction/suicide?/narcissism.

 

i tried to find it in my browser history, but havent found it so far.

 

if anyone knows which one im talking about - please help a sis out

My interpretation:

I think the song is told from multiple points of views. 

1. The poison

2. The outsider

3. Gaga herself.

 

I love that lavender blond
The way she moves the way she walks
I touch myself can't get enough
And in the silence of the night
Through all the tears and all the lies
I touch myself and it's alright

( ^This section seems to be told from Gaga's view as well as an outsider. She is referencing her persona and saying despite all the **** she is dealing with, she is able to push through.)

 

Just give in don't give up baby
Open up your heart and your mind to me

Just know when that glass is empty
That the world is gonna bend

(^The above sections seem to be told from the poison perspective, in this case being alcohol. She is referencing the allure of getting drunk.)

 

Happy in the club with a bottle of red wine
Stars in our eyes 'cause we're having a good time eh-eh eh-eh

So happy I could die be your best friend
Yeah I'll love you forever
Up in the clouds we'll be higher than ever eh-eh, eh-eh

(^This is simply drunk talk. When you are drunk, everything seems to be great and a lot of people become super friendly and buddy buddy with others.)

 

I am as vain as I allow I do my hair
I gloss my eyes I touch myself all through the night
And when something falls out of place
I take my time I put it back
I touch myself 'til I'm on track

(^She is simply saying again that despite anything that she may be dealing with, she has her ways of fixing the issues, or at least pushing through.)
