ApplauseftAdele 4,679 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 feel free to discuss your theories here! Here is mine:  Gaga in the toilet bowl or green metal water scene or whatever is her current state. She is sad, traumatized and depressed. The entire music video is her imagining breaking free. She imagines herself being stabbed with knives, but then Ariana comes, the dance scene flips and suddenly it is no longer dark, it is bright and free. Ariana is her âlightâ in the Rom storyline and in her imagination she sees that with this light, she can break free from the dim rain and dance again. So basically all the scenes are just the hallucinations/dreams of green toilet bowl Gaga, supported by the fact that their hair is flowing cuz that was random but definitely added to the dreamlike aesthetic. When Gaga in the darkness and Ariana in the âlightâ world finally join forces, they become âoneâ and thats why they look similar in the pink pastel dance scene.  At the end, wet toilet bowl Gaga is no longer sad like she was at the beginning, she is still wet and rained upon but she says the last Rain. on. me. With confidence, showing that she finally found the light/courage.  As for the cyber overlord Gaga, Iâm not really sure what that means so little theorists get to work! Sorry if this didnât make much sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDiamond 6,286 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I like that theory but I will just ignore cause it puts a very sad twist on video Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obobo 2,129 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I thought the music video was straight forward. If you catch âoverlord gagaâ thereâs a part where sheâs connected to that machine where she is watching over miniature gaga and Ariana dancing. Iâm assuming the video is Lady Gaga watching over her Chromatica world/simulation. Her tears are rainfall to Chromatica. They originally felt like daggers but then Ariana showed her that the tears donât have to be. Here outfits represent this. Ariana starts off dark purple grey. Gaga starts off black and pink. Ariana joins her and gaga outfit changes to black, pink and lilac. Then eventually gaga is pure pink and Ariana is lilac. Another point for the simulation. The long hair bayonetta scene. Hair to Gaga represents freedom âIâm free as my hairâ. So in chromatica look how free they feel together.  Also that scene where it shows her eye with a waterfall of tears and cuts to an above shot of them dancing in the rain pretty much makes me think thatâs the concept lol...

Taylucifer 4,816 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 so when Ari sung 'The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole, stole, st-st-stole' she was simply referring to herself?

Esteban 2,294 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Gaga told us that Chromtica is like a mind space, so it makes sense that her inner thoughts can be "materialised". Her mind become a place, a territory ruled by her own laws, dreams, values and traumas. That's why we have these tribes thing which symbolized different part of her or at least her own representation of how the actual world works. Concerning this clip I think the CyberGa is like the core of chromatica, the "self" who takes decisions at the end, this is CyberGa who activates the rain process, that's why she seems connected with wires and is floating upon everything, it's the Cyberga's eye that we see leaking like a waterfall which is raining on everyhting. That's why she has this teardrop makeup too.  If we want to connect everything, BIG REACH INCOMING We can suppose that "Alice" means the beginning of this inner trip (the rabbit hole) "Rain On me", "Stupid Love" and "Free Woman" are about empowerment, acceptance and freedom. "Plastic Doll", "Sour Candy", "Enigma" and "Replay" are mysterious for the moment, maybe it's about the construction of the self? The frontier between AI and the human brain? The Human machine? There is something childish but artificial and twisted in these titles, we'll see... To finish "Sine From Above", "1000 doves" and "Babylon" are about transcendence (transcen-dance ), finding peace. Her journey at the top of her holy mountain (babylon) is over and she has finally reunited every pieces of herself... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApplauseftAdele 4,679 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Ok all your theories definitely ate mine up  I really love the theory that the AI overlord Gaga is like the core of Chromatica and sheâs causing the rain Its lowkey obvious idk how I didnât think about that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bradley 1,638 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I think AI overlord Gaga could be the âsineâ that she was speaking about in the Apple Music interview? She mentioned how a sine wave split in two and created the planet, one taking the form of a female God... maybe thatâs who is âin the skyâ in Chromatica? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe you're right, it makes sense actually.. But the way she explained this idea was kind of manichean so I'm not bothered if she doesn't dig further Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
