We dont have the same DNA. This lyric always drives me nuts because its so glaringly inaccurateĀ 50 minutes ago, River said: It's more a religious thing, like we all came from adam and eveĀ 46 minutes ago, PMM said: what River said but also you can say that we are all in this earth, humans animals etc. we all have different sex preferences, why you need tear somebody, you were born this way.Ā But you are the fame so i don' think you know what i meanĀ 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.

Tho there are a couple of strong lyrics like the verses in 911. They're pretty poetic Ā (I remember reading a review of the album and it said that they felt Gaga sounded bored on the album and I totally get what they mean. You can tell that she rly lacked inspiration and passion for the project) Edited April 25 by Gorehound I'm fine, Ta 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartySick 136,169 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Just now, Pennywise said: So true bestieĀ Joanne works being toned down thanks to its analog yet still interesting production and the story the entire project tells about pain, coping, growing, changing, and healing. It's a body of work I feel stimulated by and that I enjoy returning to constantlyĀ Chromatica is stripped of most metaphors and allusions in favor of wordplay that doesn't always work and straightforward delivery that leaves next to nothing to ponder or think about. And Bloodpop's production is beyond boring and flat, saved only by random sounds like the distorted guitar on ROM or the Diana sample in Replay.

The instrumental is too cartoonish and bland for such a deep topic, and ye the song definitely deserved a Judas-level chorus. She should have continued developing that demo bridge into something great. "I can't relate to your mind tonight (need a 911 can you patch the line?) / I'm out of space and I'm out of time (need a 911 can you patch the line?)" Something that gets more frantic and continues drawing a parallel between her anxiety/depression crazed mind and a healthy one. Continue that with two more lines to make a fully fleshed bridge then turn the "my biggest enemy is me, pop a 911" bit into a post chorus (ala "p-p-p poker face") that brings us down from a bomb chorus and 911 would be among her best.

God, poor Alice doesn't even have a single full verse Ā Ye that would've been rly cool.Ā It's such a shame that she didn't go more experimental on Chromatica. 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. Ā Ā I'm fine, Ta 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iām not okay and if I scream, you walk awayāĀ āif you give me time, then I could make time for your loveāĀ āOpen-minded, Iām so blinded, mistery man, woman phantomāĀ āIām completely numb, why you acting dumb?ā Even 12-year-old me wouldnāt have left lyrics like thatĀ I do love Babylon and ROMās bridgeās lyrics cause theyāre obviously camp, but the restā¦ Edited April 25 by The Z 4 2 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
