Quartz 12,536 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I mean, look at it. Why is 'love' in a bear trap? Is it saying that the person loving is 'stupid' because they fall for the 'love' trap? Is the song about us loving and being trapped in a stupid situation? Are the OG intellectual fans still here?

Queen Gloria 3,464 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yeah, love can be a trap that you fall into, in either a positive or negative way. I thought the metaphor was pretty straight forward, I didn't even question it. The Love is inside the trap, luring you in, ready to snap at any moment.

ryansamonster 1,755 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Well Gaga said it requires a ton of bravery to love someone. Love being inside the trap, you’d have to be brave (and stupid) to fall into it. Love is a beautiful thing but we all know it can also get pretty messy.

But the thing is, the song doesn't reflect this. That's why I was wondering if there's another layer? Maybe she wants all people to love each other, but it'll eventually be bad?

Oh damn that makes sense with the bravery thing she said in the interview. I think you hit the nail on the head.

Also she's not sure the love she found will protect her . She says "could this love etc." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChromeAngel 3,230 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I’ve explained this more in a different thread a few days ago. I think it’s pretty obvious. She mentioned something along the lines of everyone experiences love different but she’s pretty sure that we all feel scared when we make ourselves vulnerable opening up to love. I think it just means you need to put yourself out there and just accept love, even if it could end badly. It’s like standing in a bear trap. Be stupid and do it anyway because that’s our only option. Nobody will ever get close enough to show you love unless you risk also getting hurt. You can’t be healed unless you open up the door, even though dangerous things could also go through that door Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
