DiskoBaby 1,929 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 What culture is represented in the video? It looks like a mix of Native Western and Asian culture at once. I’m very confused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the first part after understanding the second part and you can see exactly what is happening in the "real world" as it happens, interpreted by the mind dream state. I like how the paramedic and nurse visit each accident victim in turn, etc. Holding up a ventilator mask to a person. All kinds of little things that seemed random become obvious.

Hebi 13,928 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 For me the dream is a representation of what she usually brings to the world: fashion, art, symbolism, looks. That is what everyone sees but in the end she always ends up the same, suffering all her physical and psychological issues and overdoing herself all the time. The "I don't want to die" part is painful because it seems to make sense when you remember that this is her return to pop and the extravaganza that once made her but it's getting harder and harder to do so now. Look at the end how even the initials LG doens't exist and they just stands for the technology brand, it's like the world keeps moving forward but she is still Lady Gaga.

roshogullu 1,415 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 this entire video was a display of all the things she went through- all the reasons why she wrote the song 911. And at the same time, it was her love letter to the healthcare workers and everyone else who is on the other end of the line when you dial 911. her mind!

It is often used as a symbol of medicine instead of the Rod of Asclepius, especially in the United States. The two-snake caduceus design has ancient and consistent associations with trade, eloquence, negotiation, alchemy and wisdom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on Youtube interpreted it differently. They focused more on Gaga and the 'rich man', in the dream he wears a big gown with firefighters around him. The man in the car crash is suffocating without anyone beside him, and the woman is howling and holding someone around her. Someone's saying it might be a critique of society focusing on important and wealthy individuals over laymen and because she's Lady Gaga, she beneefits from this privilege, sometimes at the cost of people around her.
