ROM MV: My Interpretation

So I just thought I'd share with you guys whst I mentioned in the charts thread cause @HybridAT said it made sense

So.. I believe the ROM MV is about Ari and Gaga's bad experiences touring and owning what happened by honouring it. They are acknowledging they are female pop stars who have had a hard time touring so they explore their past experiences together and dance in their tears. 

Note in the video:

- The only two 'accessories' both women have are the knife in Gaga's hip and the wings on Ari back 

- The knife represents Gaga's hip break 

- the wings are the Manchester bee mascot

-  The nail in her cheek, maybe represents her struggle with fillers she got whilst touring/her fibro flaring up in her face. 

- they are in a night time setting surrounded by sky scrapers (tours take place in cities) 

- they seem to be in arena setting

- Gaga has scenes where she dances with the knife still firmly in her hip - she did this in real life and had to have an operation 

- When Gaga pulls out the knife it turns to water. Not only is that physically painful - it's emotionally painful so represents her tears. You could also argue the knives that fall on her aren't actually real - they're just a metaphor for how it feels to be overwhelmed with depression - it is comparable to physical pain. 

- both life changing incidents - Gaga's hip, and Ari's terror attack - were very traumatic, and happened to both whilst touring. 

- once the video is over the scene is bright and they hug - they re visited what happened, owned it, and moved forward together as women supporting each other 

- Gaga as 'Enigma' or 'Chromatica' (the deep voice gaga), she is not perfect and is surrounded by wires. From her experiences she had become a super hero of sorts and can tap into a stronger persona. That version of Gaga quite strongly reiterates 'Rain. On. Me' - she is ready for whatever now. Ari helped her to adopt this persona

Well that's all I got so far - its a simple concept but actually done beautifully. Hats off to both

definitely makes sense!  I love that they're dancing in Gaga's tears and how the knife turns to water when it's pulled out like the cutting tears it represents, I just adore everything about this song and video

Am I the only one who thought on Marry the Night at the beginning? :messga: I thought it was a reference but probably just my imagination.

I didn't even think of the knife turning to water 

I interpret that as the pain she's got isn't real - it's emotional but feels like knives coming down on her and in her. 

It hurts when you pull a knife out (let an emotion out) so it turns to water - representative of her tears

not Chromatica

Makes sense, although Ari's wings are quite obviously butterfly wings.

I thought that was them tarting it up for the aesthetic

Watch her do an interview on the video and clock this thread hard :billie:

Just my interpretation of course :vegas:

first, sorry my english, im from buenos aires, argentina. at the beginning she is with the knife, and then. other knifes fall from sky and stab her. this is 10 of aces of tarot: the end of this emotional cicle. then, she grabs the one on the leg (next to born this way tattoo..mmm... did someone try to stab her essence? herself? the industry? some old love? aces on tarot refers to everything mental, emotional. so, she grabs that last one, making herself the card As of aces: new beginning, now, more rational, that emotions are now integrated and connected with ourselves. 

my thoughts.... i am looking for wonderland, too.
