BlondeQueenOfGGD 25,454 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Gaga talking about each Chromatica track on Spotify. Chromatica I - Every journey, I believe, begins with an element of triumph. I win and fail all the time. They’re both meaningful. They both inform me. They’re equally epic. Alice - In order to do hard things, we have to be willing to try. Sometimes trying involves dreaming. Some of us, I to be certain, must be able to imagine the greatness that’s revealed within us when we overcome obstacles. Otherwise, what’s the point? When we are sad this is more difficult, but I recall that there’s always Wonderland. Remember that old story about Alice? Stupid Love - The core issue that’s been the driving connective force behind all things I do is love. I’ve always wanted it, and can never have enough of it. I’ve been told I’m a love addict. Fine. I’m addicted to love. Is that so bad? Because isn’t there freedom in simply acknowledging that my need for love is a bottomless pit? Rain On Me - Sometimes I’ve thought I’ve cried so many tears that that’s all I was anymore - a fountain for misery to cycle through. I’d rather that not be true, but at least I’m alive. I’m grateful for that. Tears can be teachers if we let them. Free Woman - As someone who generally prefers things to be genderless, I ponder often why I chose to declare my womanhood in this song. I’ve realized that question is futile. Woman could be synonymous with any creative force. I’m proud of my womb, proud of yours, and proud of those who were born without wombs and have phantom ones. Every gender has a spirit womb. I believe this is hinged on creating with three things the same way a door has three hinges: a steady hand, knowing you can, and not needing a relationship to define your power. Before you know it if you are closed, you can open, just like a door. Fun Tonight - When you listen to this song, imagine you’re singing to yourself. Chromatica II - I believe it’s in the middle of our voyages as people that things become both terrifying and whimsical at the same time. I felt life was asking the impossible of me, which I think I’m not alone in the feeling. So I was scared, but I believe in magic. So, I wrote this interlude as a reminder that my magic was working. I believe that means yours is too. 911 - I take an anti-psychotic. I have neuropathic pain and regular traumas responses. In order to keep me safe from addiction I am not permitted to take any pain pills, so I take this instead. Do not take anti-psychotics unless directed to do so by your doctor, as I do not wish to glamorize anguish. Plastic Doll - Pop culture objectifies artists by attributing labels and grouping us into categories. As a result of this, society expects us to perform like the archetypes we’ve created by stealing our narrative from us and attempting to re-write it. Many of us know what’s going on. I am aware, I am a plastic doll. Some people in the world believe I belong to them in a box to play with. It hurts. Sour Candy - I resent that women are often expected to always be sweet or we’re called bitches. This song is an analog for that sentiment, and a polite middle finger. Enigma - The genesis of Lady Gaga as how I identify is something I’ve grappled with ever since I was 19. I don’t know why I need this transformation to happen other than that the design of Lady Gaga is decidedly rebellious. I can break any stigmas about me at any time because I will constantly transform to escape them. This process by which I exist is a mystery to me. But I’m starting to understand it. I’m even starting to own it. I will always be misunderstood. Because I want to be. Replay - I refused to not allow this song to be on the album. Sure, I’m the “boss.” But really Chromatica cannot exist without an abstract explanation of what it’s like to be triggered if you have PTSD. It’s a replay of all my monsters, not the little ones. And the very thing that has plagued my mind for years, trauma, is precisely the thing that now powers my life force to be braver i.e. this voice I hear — continue to make music although your brain feels like it’s breaking sometimes. Chromatica III - My sister and I agree that dysfunctional systems are all led by the same calm that precedes all storms. It’s sneaky, unassuming. And I like to focus on what I can control versus what I’m powerless to. Obviously, people are not included. I believe this music to be an expression of an understanding that in life, things will be hard. But many hard things are also followed by revelations. Sine From Above - This song is the revelation I had during the album making process that reminded me it is actually the root of all my revelations. Sine is a function that expresses sound. I open a portal to the other realm whenever I write a song, a portal that is conduit for sound and language. This song is about not only my music making process, but also about how I survive. I survive through music. I always have, and no matter how much I change or things change around me, that is always still true. Sound is my god. 1000 Doves - I wrote this song as a cry for help. This song is a promise that I will continue to try just as I did in the beginning when it was hard. It acknowledges that we cannot do all things by ourselves. Sometimes we need help. That’s ok. Babylon - This is the dance celebration of the culmination of this album, but it’s really the start that occurs after every finish. When we’ve completed a task or defeated a challenge, the end is not the end. This is a new journey, and in Chromatica I will dance my way through all the pain, and every transition I make is into a new me, which is consistently a miracle. I vow to always have something to celebrate. And frankly gossip is the hallmark of civilization. Two people can’t talk behind each others backs, you need at least three people. And something that used to haunt me — gossip — is now a silly construct I can dance through. Babble on. I’ll be in Babylon. Or Chromatica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

julz 5,790 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I really want another interview from her that talks about Chromatica. I know that she may repeat some of the things here, but I'd like to know how she is doing right now and what this album means to her at the moment. Replay remains the top song for me. I felt that i stopped asking for her to make it a single when i saw her interview at that Oprah documentary. It's very personal. Babylon seems like a good comeback Chromatica single. She may not be anymore in Chromatica, but in Babylon We'll have to wait longer.. L4S and Gucci is coming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
