Massive Monster 5,003 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 For me it's not the repetition but the lyrics themselves Free Woman, Fun tonight and 1000 Doves have incredibly generic and lazy lyrics to me That could be argued for Stupid Love also but as it sounds very 80s pop it kinda fits that "person in love" vibe Kind regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RepentingSinner 2,642 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 It's called repetition? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacaca 1,210 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Nah repetition isn't the issue. Some of the lyrics are lazy and so unlike Gaga. It's fine, I love the album, but many of the songs just don't have the Gaga DNA that helped me fall in love with her. Sour Lady, Fun Tonight, 1000 Doves, Plastic Doll and more could have been sung by any other artist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Empty 25,014 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 "Don't call me Gaga" "I'll still be Bloody Mary" "Introducing Mary Jane Holland" "Call me Joanne" and now "My name isn't Alice" Like b*tch don't be lazy, quit teasing and just give us your real name already Happiness will never last, darkness comes to kick your ass... ᵃˢˢ 🕺 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottom 1,842 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 The whole chorus of 911 is boring and lazy as hell, if she wanted to explore the whole i am my worst enemy theme it could have been written a lot smarter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S 8,672 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I would call it lazy songwriting because it's not just the lyrics that are lazy, but also the song structures. Some songs sound like she couldn't think of what to do so leave it as is and let Bloodpop's production cover for her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 CHROMATICA 101 for those bad at math What do you think the sine curve is? A deconstructed representation of the circle. GAGA wrote these lyrics to feel empowered by the sweeping nature of sound. Hence, the patterns convey messages that need to be repeated. This is why the sentences have an elliptical shape. This is actually genius. Combining geometry with acoustics with lingustics and psychology. Try harder to comprehend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think that some part of a lyrics were written in a lazy way. #1 Sour Candy After 2nd chorus BP sing the same lines like at the beginning. They could write something different for them to sing. "I'm sour candy, so sweet then I get a little angry, yeah Sour candy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm super psycho, make you crazy when I turn the lights low Sour candy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" #2 Free Woman She sings "I walk the downtown, hear my sound" twice and it's wierd (WHERE IS Watch, watch me now, electric, devotion ) #3 Sine From Above She sings "When I was young, I prayed for lightning" twice. Again - she could write some new line Hide contents Why does she sing only 1 verse in "Alice" Completely agreed on SC, however on SFA “When I was young, I prayed for lightening” bookending the first verse reminds me of the structure of a poetic stanza, so I excuse it tbh We have forgotten our public MANNERS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy scheisse 22,174 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I love that free woman line, I think free woman gives the most imagery from it's lyrics and that line is part of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazme Pillay 133 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Y'all I literally reactivated this account to reply to this because it's frustrated me so much reading through this thread. Do any of you understand how POP MUSIC and hooks work? Do you realize that repetition is a motif characteristic to pop music and is used to create hooks or "earworms" and that words are used for their sonic/melodic qualities rather than their meaning which in turn, creates meaning in pop as a sort of collage/pastiche?? Has everyone forgotten that Gaga's greatest skill as a songwriter is her ability to craft immaculate POP hooks and lyrics which are both effective as POP mechanism and conceptual points of departure?? I mean this bitch made "rah rah ah ah ah" sound like Shakespeare and made fake German the new German. All of your examples are examples of excellent pop crafting. If you want sonnets for lyrics and storytelling then listen to folklore. **** good art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those still grappling with Chromatica and who have decided that the album is "dated", "lazy" or sounds "poorly produced because all the songs are the same" please refer to the post above for the rest of your life thank you Xx **** good art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
