did i say it was about social media?

i said it's NOT about Taylor and it's obvious when you think about it for more than two seconds

her previous heartbreak songs/songs about lovers are very descriptive and autobiographical (Y&I, Speechless etc), PI is very vague but the most important fact is that gaga wasn't the one who came up with PI, it was Kevin Parker :poot: so unless Kevin Parker had a relationship with Taylor, it couldn't be about Taylor since Gaga didn't even come up with the damn song :poot: 

Kevin came with a song called "Illusion", and then they worked together and it became PI.. Gaga always put her touch on her music

that doesn't really mean anything

it's still not about Taylor, it's way too vague for her

she gets very descriptive when she's in pain, just look at her discography

Ok.. It's ur opinion.. I prefer not to believe that a song that belongs to her most intimate album are this vague to her.. think she's just clever enough to make us divert attention from things

i mean, you can believe it's not vague but don't tell me it's not after listening to MR, DWUW, Y&I, Speechless and GG :poot:

Yes but she's took a whole different approach with Joanne. Even though the lyrics are more vague compared to her previous work, they have more meaning. Her past lyrics, even though they were more to the point, they were devoid of any deep meaning. With Joanne she's letting us think more deeply and making us think what could she mean by this lyric. Because that's what you're supposed to do with art. It's not supposed to be spoon fed to you. It's meant to be filled with symbolism and hidden meanings to make you want to delve deeper.

Hmmm, it could also be about Joanne from Papa Joe’s perspective? I mean, she does look like female version of Papa Joe when he was younger. :poot:

Just take a look here

This.

I also think that the Joanne song could be from Joe’s perspective

What’s in a reverse-warholian expedition?

Perfect Illusion is a part of a trilogy of videos. There is a reason they are all linked together. 

It goes Perfect Illusion - This song is about a break up where you thought you had love, had your whole life planned out with him and then it got shattered. When she looks back on it she realises it was a perfect illusion. 

Million Reasons - This song is about the pain she went through with the break up. She needed one good reason to stay in the relationship which was love. All she wanted was LOVE.

John Wayne - This is about the next stage. She's ready to get over him with a rebound and find a wild man. 

So bearing this in mind and going back to what Gaga says Perfect Illusion is about which is social media and fans turning her back on her. Seriously? Is it any wonder fans don't choose to believe that. There's nothing in her art to show it means that.

i'm sorry but she was engaged to the man and the best she could come up with "it wasn't love, it wasn't love" for the chorus? :poot: 

i love PI but i can't accept these easy lyrics to be about Taylor when you listen to the songs i listed as examples, she's never been afraid to bear it all in her music

the song she wants you to do what you described is for is Million Reasons, the fact Parker came up with PI (originally Illusion so he already had the Illusion concept ready for gaga) just screams that it can't be about Taylor, Taylor just fits the shoe and the song could be applied to anybody in her life she thought was her friend

even the tracks Joanne and GG are still very descriptive about who the song is about, i'm very willing to bet that Million Reasons is the real track about Taylor

The thing about Kevin Parker. We weren't there in the studio. The conversation could have gone like this for example...

Gaga: I really want to write a song about my break up and put my rage in to it.

Mark: That sounds cool. What were you thinking? 

Gaga: I'm not sure something about how perfect the relationship was and I'm still trying to process why it ended. 

Then they could have brainstormed and perhaps Kevin piped up with "I've got a track I've been working on that might fit the vibe you're looking for".

So he played it, they liked it and built up on it. Perhaps she liked the title and had a lightbulb moment. Who knows? 

We've seen the lyrics on the type writer and Mark Ronson raved about her coming up with them and writing them. 

And as for the line "it wasn't love, it wasn't love". Honestly as someone who went through the exact thing when the song came out I can't imagine more fitting lyrics. The song is about the rage and the lyrics are perfect. I think you need to live life more because the whole Joanne album will age with you as you grow because you need to listen to these songs with empathy and understanding and I feel if you haven't got experience to compare it to you won't understand. Not just talking about you but all of the youth of today.

I always thought she was talking about an alter ego of her self, like a character she dives into from time to time :lolga:

Baby sister = Gaga persona

They couldn’t make the difference between Stefani and Gaga so it messed up the relationship.

She was Gaga at home, in bed etc

somedays he wanted Gaga and not Stefani

 

Come on and wrap that blade of grass around my hairy ass

But also wasn’t A-yo supposed to be the 2nd single so it’s not like they planned the PI —> MR —> JW thing in advance
