Dukttape 1,437 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I've been listening to the lyrics in the context, and it almost seems like a continuation of Applause in that regard but updated for the current media climate. Now the lyrics also remind me of Gwen Stefani's What You Waiting For, which was her first solo song released and is about pressure to impress people and hoping her fans still love her. You're the one that I've been waiting for Gotta quit this crying Nobody's gonna heal me if I don't open the door Kinda hard to believe (gotta have faith in me) Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out (look at me) Get down, get down, get down, get down (look at me) Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out Look at me now 'Cause all I ever wanted was love Higher, higher (ooh ooh) Higher, higher (ooh ooh) Higher, higher All I ever wanted was love Higher, higher (ooh ooh) Higher, higher (ooh ooh) Higher, higher (higher, higher) I want your stupid love, love I want your stupid love, love (Oh) Now it's time to free me from the chain I gotta find that peace, is it too late Or could this love protect me from the pain? I would battle for you (even if I break in two) Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out (look at me) Get down, get down, get down, get down (look at me) Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out Look at me now 'cause all I ever wanted was love Higher, higher (ooh ooh) Higher, higher (ooh ooh) Higher, higher All I ever wanted was love Higher, higher (ooh ooh) Higher, higher (ooh ooh) Higher, higher (higher, higher) I want your stupid love, love I want your stupid love, love (Oh) I don't need a reason (oh) Not sorry, I want your stupid love I don't need a reason (oh) Not sorry, I want your stupid love Higher, higher I want your stupid love, love (oh, oh, woo) We got a stupid love, love (Oh) I want your stupid love, love (Oh) I want your stupid love, love Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didymus 32,742 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 No, it's about breaking down the barriers of pain that people surround themselves with to shield themselves from the outside world, and how truly healing yourself through love is only possible when we choose to be vulnerable, and in a cry of ecstasy let those barriers fall to the ground to receive the divine influx of Love. She pretty much said that herself. I don't see any link to standom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCrown 1,794 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 It's already what I thought about Perfect Illusion, that the love from the fans was more like a perfect illusion since a lot of them dragged her a lot since ARTPOP My crown is black, like the soul of fame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy 10,801 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I was thinking the same idea. But it also could be multilayered like many of her songs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagzus 13,646 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I think it’s obvsiously about her just wanting someone to love her and jumping head first into every relationship and falling in love. But this time with this particular relationship in the song she’s willing to be with someone different to get out of the “chain” of heartbreak she’s had Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus considering how much she and the producers "interacted" with fans, I don't think this is by any means farfetched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
