PartySick 134,877 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 36 minutes ago, Head Empty said: I always thought that part of the song refers to the idea of rebirth that she also explores in the music video. How you can change, evolve and don't have to stick to one preconceived identity. So more literally: "My DNA hasn't changed, but I now choose to identify differently". Edit: alternatively it could be seen as a way to break away from your parents. You might have their DNA, but that doesn't mean you have to agree with them, for example when LGBTQ+ kids break away from conservative parents. 7 minutes ago, olive specter said: as others said this is not about everyone having the same DNA her whole thing with born this way was the concept that birth is not finite, but infinite and you can be reborn as what you want to be at any point in time Y'all are way overthinking this. It's literally "I'm different (born this way) but I'm human just like you (same DNA)" At best, it's a cute little sentiment about people dehumanizing queer folks but even then, I don't think it's that deep. Ironically R u 🌈? 🤨📷 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z 17,955 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 1 hour ago, The Fame said: "same DNA, but born this way" We all have a unique genome, which is literally what makes us each different and special. We dont have the same DNA. This lyric always drives me nuts because its so glaringly inaccurate I think it means that when we change as a person, we still have the same DNA what I don’t understand is the “BUT born this way” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically she was talking about the concept of birth being infinite the whole time, music, videos, interviews it's even in the monolog in the born this way video also, what you said about "im human, the same dna" is exactly the problem the person has with the lyric Edited April 25 by olive specter 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 911 would've been cool if it gradually built in intensity more and more as the song progressed and ended up with it completely burning itself out, like a panic attack or psychotic episode. Instead the "bridge" doesn't build much tension at all and the final chorus is very anticlimactic and the post chorus is just flat and boring. (Unlike Replay where this is actually done well). This is a criticism on many of the songs on the album. Hell, ARTPOP recycled a good 25% of its production from former projects and it managed to tell a better story with its structure and sound than Chromatica I feel like Chromatica was built kinda like... Bloodpop: *opens sample bank, copies and pastes the same kicks, snares, bass, and synths into every song* Gaga: "Hey Blood, I was thinking of making a song that had 30 different words in it. Maybe something with two verses and an actual chorus?" Bloodpop: "Don't you dare, bitch. Every song needs to be in and out before you can cook pizza rolls in the microwave" Gaga: "Ok bet. Can we keep these unique sounds for Free Woman? I really love the distorted vocals used as a melody. These wood block sounds on the hook are great flavor, even if they are simple. And I really love-" Bloodpop: "Best I can do is an anemic beat, no unique sounds, and an unnecessary dance break instead of the other half of the song layered with piano1.exe" R u 🌈? 🤨📷 2 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
