The Child 18,994 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 What do you guys think? I sometimes think I that the song is really negative (I think that when I already feel bad) and sometimes I think it’s positive. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFRatwell 23,290 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 It’s about needing drugs to be mentally stable, I’m not sure how happy that topic can be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyhaus 7,697 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Unhappy, I love it but singing the chorus to yourself is kinda problematic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic 37,903 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I see it as neutral, leaning toward negative. The song acknowledges the protagonist's issues but doesn't do anything to address them other then indulge in the comfort of repeated, destructive behavior. buy bionic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMonster20 9,575 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Very negative and honestly very disturbing. It’s basically about Olanzapine being an emergency to her mind when she literally can’t control how her brain functions at moments. That sounds super intense.

GAMS 1,685 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I don't think it's a matter of positive or negative. It's just lightness and darkness. 19 minutes ago, NFRatwell said: It’s about needing drugs to be mentally stable, I’m not sure how happy that topic can be I don't think taking needing to take medication is a negative thing. I'm thankful for it. That's what this song is about. Having her medication in order to manage the highs and lows of manic depression.

numb the flame 7,291 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 lyrically it's very dark but the positive is that she's shedding light on it being okay to talk about mental health and taking medication when / if needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having her medication in order to manage the highs and lows of manic depression. There’s a different between glorification and normalization of mental illness and medication. Gaga isn’t glorifying it, she’s expressing the pain she gets from her illness and how she needs drugs to cope. That’s not really a positive topic.

TheSlash 14,539 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 It sounds like a very realistic view on her situation, leaning in neither direction. Even though the reasons and the behavior is very negative, but she acknowledges what she has to do to be in a (halfway) good place. Spoiler Please don't drag me, that's just how I perceive it Ew, David! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
babs 5,093 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I don't think it's that simple. I think looking for ways to represent the underdogs is a big aspect of Gaga's music. It is not a happy song nor is it about an utopic topic, but it is about a real situation and it's adorned with metaphors in order to cope with the pain. I would say this song is also great for people who go through the same experience because they feel represented in their struggle in having a relationship with mental stabilization drugs.

Quartz 11,923 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I mean it's a bop to pop your pssy to. let's focus on that. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Gaga is always finding ways to help people with her words, actions, and music. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
