ryanripley 86,575 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 it goes without saying that this thread is way more about the lyrics than the instrumental, but since everybody isn't good at picking up the obvious: obviously it wouldn't have the electronic sound it has on ARTPOP if it was on Joanne so imagine the same lyrics but a more acoustic song now that's out of the way, do you think the lyrics to Dope suit her life now more than back in 2013 as a sort of "love" song to her family and closest friends who helped her through 2012/13/14 and guided her into the woman she is today like she explained in 5F2? it's no secret that period of her life was very tough, battling the hip and getting involved heavily with drugs and the rampant media backlash over the silliest things so does this song make sense more now than back then? this has been ryanripley, thanks for listening https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatislaps 34,851 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 narrative wise...no. Sound wise...yes. But in context of the BTWB and the ARTPOP era, Dope fits in with the lyrics narrative wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Nook 37,819 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I personally felt like Dope was more like a cry for help and an embodiment of the depression she has post-hip breaking, I think compared to the family/friend ballads on Joanne they had a more upbeat attitude which reflected on the message of healing, maybe with some tweaking it would fit but Dope’s release on ARTPOP is perfect for what was the current raw emotion she was feeling at the time but honestly I don’t know that’s just my onion Uh Red Wine...
