Blastertoyo 22,728 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 In Honest Eyes she sings: It's been a hard day, harder night. The rockstar's, girlfriend, she lost the fight. Well it's all right baby, I'm nobody's mother, When you don't want the last cigerette to be over. “I’m nobody’s mother” always struck me as an odd line, why would a 21/22 year old be talking about not being anyone’s mother? After Gaga telling us about her *b*rtion, it made me realize she might actually be saying she’s “the mother of nobody”. The child was never born so it never had a name but she is still the “mother” of it. Thoughts? please enlighten me to death Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepotter 75,147 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I'm not sure if we should speculate about this matter but damn reading those lyrics in that context makes them so poignant chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty like sodium 1,915 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I mean "I'm not your mother" is a common expression that's usually used to say "do what you want I'm not here to tell you what to do/how to behave/clean up your mess". So I think that's probably what that line means, but who knows? Interesting theory Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Thomason 963 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I doubt it, the second verse mentions "its been 2 days since he left home". As far as i'm aware she wasn't living with the person that assaulted her. Maybe just an ex and shes relieved she didn't have kids with them after finding out he lied to her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
