The lyrics tell a clear story and the grammar is as correct as one could expect in a song. But...for most fans it doesn't seem to resonate as much as her other work despite it being a 'technically' great song. So there's definitely something to be said about the emotional response certain words evoke. i think the reason it doesnt resonate is because of how straightforward it is, or maybe because she says "hold my hand" 1000 times that being said.... it resonates with me but i dont listen to it often "I hope that you will love me in this way For who I am—not then—but for today" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's definitely something to be said about the emotional response certain words evoke. Thank you for saying this because that's exactly what puts me off HMH. I don't really like lyrics that are just... stating how someone feels or what they are doing. It's just statements to a melody. It's a good song, but doesn't interest me personally. Whereas almost every song on BTW is written so creatively it tickles my brain just right. The way she chops up words or chooses words sepcifically because they sound more poetic or they paint a metaphorical picture or have double meanings. I love figuring out lyrics and trying to see the story she visualises in her mind, within my own. But I suppose the general public doesn't like that they like their pop straight to the point and easy to understand on first listen I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

LMAO It's an affectionate term a man calls a woman with hot sexy legs (usually long legs but Gaga's short so??). Like imagine a man with a New York accent saying "well hellooo legs" or "ay legs! why don't you come an have a seat here with me?". I always imagined it was a cutesy pet-name Luc called her back in the day Or maybe I'm just making this all up in my head Edit: also they lived in New York, so 'buy me eggs' she doesn't mean he went to the grocery store to restock her pantry.. it means after they hooked up he took her to breakfast, probably at a nearby diner or smth I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.
