hardcore1996 1,618 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I wanted to make a thread about the self references is MAYHEM, I love little easter eggs like that. If you think of anything else I’d love to know! 100% a Reference: Perfect Celebrity- Princess Die “Watch the Princess Die” Blade of Grass- Judas “Queen without a crown” Abracadabra- Bad Romance, Judas “Gaga” as a lyric, other nonsensical words and general song structure A Reach but I believe it Vanish Into You/Garden of Eden- Bad Romance “Ooooh oh-“ Melody used partially in both songs Zombieboy- Monster- “Put your paws all over me” Don’t Call Tonight- Speechless “I cant believe all the things that you said to me tonight” You cant convince me this song isn’t about Joseph lol Shadow of a Man- John Wayne- “Peaking through the eye of the storm” I love this one because both songs are different angles at looking at men lol 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NashvilleGAGA 466 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 “I talk in circles ‘cause my brain it aches” I think this references “there could be 99 people in a room” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceAnesthesia 124 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) I've been thinking about this as well. A couple things I thought about Just from Perfect Celebrity alone (Not saying these are intentional but interesting connections I saw) Perfect Celebrity and Plastic Doll "I'm made of Plastic like a human Doll." And also "You push and pull me, I don't hurt at all." vs. the PD chorus "don't play with me, it just hurts me." Applause and Perfect Celebrity. "If only fame had an I.V."/"I found the vein, put it in here" and "Tap on my vein, suck on my diamond blood. Choke on the fame and hope it gets you high." And that same line also made me think of Diamond Heart. Edited April 5 by AliceAnesthesia correcting a typo 👹 Dance or die. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamartia 1,037 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Nobody catching 'hands tied' in Zombieboy because this fanbase doesn't appreciate the career-defining masterpiece that is Teeth Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmpiregrn 916 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Mentioned this before and idk if it’s a stretch, but in Shadow of a Man “Hard to be the yellow in a purple sky” and Paparazzi “Shadow is burnt, yellow dance and we turn, my eyelashes are dry, purple teardrops I cry” Just felt like two oddly specific colors for her to drop again all these years later 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
