Gagi 2,750 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Shred me apart little shreddersĀ but I never thought of Gaga as the best songwriter ever. I love her to death and the melodies she writes are super catchy but her lyrics (to me) were never more than average pop song texts. There are a few exceptions, but all in all her songs donāt shine because ofĀ the lyricsĀ for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2School4Cool 5,356 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I respect your opinion but I find Chromatica to have her best and most poetic, raw, and powerful lyrics to date, and sheās alwaysĀ been a brilliant lyricist.Ā I find myself referring to them as stanzas as opposed to verses because of how poetic they are. Ā āFeeling something that IĀ canāt explain, think itās a wound I still entertain, Iād do anything to numb the flame, I guess Iām just on fire these days, I canāt see straight, I canāt see me, thereās too much hurt caught in between, Wish I could be what I know I am, this momentās highjacked my plans.ā Ā āIād do anything for you to really see me,Ā I am human, invisibly bleeding, When your smile is shaking, Iāll catch you as you fall. ... Life me up, give me a start, Ā āCause Iāve been flying with some broken arms, Life me up, just a small nudge, And Iāll be flying like a thousand doves.ā Ā āWhen I was young I prayed for light night, My mother said it would come and find me, I found myself without a prayer, I lost my love and no one cared, When I was young I prayed for lightning.ā Ā āKeep my dolls inside diamond boxes, Save āem ātil I know Iām gonna drop this front Iāve build around me, Oasis, paradise is in my hands. Holding on soĀ tight to this status,Ā Itās not real but Iāll try to grab it, Keep myself in beautiful places, Paradise is in my hands.ā Ā āOpen-minded, Iām so blinded, Mystery man, woman phantom, Violet light smears the atmosphere, Iām so scared, but Iām standing here. ... Canāt stop staring, Iām so naked, Wrapped in shadows, my heart races, Dragonās eyes watch goddess breathing, Give me something to believe in.ā She could have released this album as a book of poetry!

She is considered as one of the best song-writer because her lyrics are so different and weird, you can literally call it Gaga-ism. She is not a typical Taylor Swift storytelling type of writer, nor Sufjan Stevens poetry type of writer, but that doesn't mean she isn't one of the best song-writer, her song-writer hall of fame award proves that even industry thinks so.Ā I guess it's just not your type.

You just pick a miss in Chromatica and compare it to a hit in BTW. Yes, agreed. Kudos to the OP though, someone who clearly cares. Would it be fair to say as well that the basic sound of the album is light and boppy and maybe that takes away from the gravitas of the lyrics.

Being different and weird never made anyone a better songwriter. Gaga's strengths show when she is out to prove herself as an artist. In chromatica gaga is trying to achieve something different, the lyrics are coming from a different place that she's never fully explored before. She isn't trying to prove anything on this record, she is trying to make sense of her life, sobriety, and fame. She won that award for songs like Born This Way - which touched the lives of millions. You can rate songwriting based on skill and creativity, but at the end of the day the songs that will be most remembered are the ones with impact. Sadly I don't think any song from chromatica will achieve this level of impact. Letās have some fun this beat is Sapokanikan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICouldntThinkOfOne 215 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 As much as this album is made up of more direct lyrics, that doesn't take away from the impact in my opinion. Ā The biggest difference between this album and BTW is that the lyrics in chromatica focus on her and her struggles. Ā But if you're looking for descriptive, 911 says hello?Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyaKara 2,272 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I agree, BTW and ARTPOP both had better lyrics, and I prefer the deeper songs on Chromatica due to their lyrics (Replay, 911). That said, I think Gaga purposely sacrificed lyrical depth on Chromatica. One of the themes of Chromatica is 'no one thing is greater than another'; I like to think that she also means herself in relation to other people, and through this album has shown that she shares the same feelings, thoughts, and fears that other people do. And that's the point -- so we can all dance through our pain like she is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
