Unused MAYHEM lyrics - what are they?

[HayThurJack 373]

Ahead of MAYHEM's release, unused lyrics from the album appeared on Gaga's website. What do we think these are? 

Was she intentionally teasing a song she knew wouldn't be on the album? Are they scrapped demo lyrics? Are they Dead Dance lyrics? Are they from other unreleased songs?

The lyrics were revealed on the website on the 17th of February and MAYHEM released on the 7th of March. This doesn't leave a lot of time to make changes, if it's even possible to make changes at all in such a short timeframe. 

"Have been so worried that I'm lost"

"Like the words of a song"

"I try so hard to sing"

There's also "Drug to last a lifetime" which Gagapedia states is from LoveDrug, however, those lyrics do not appear in the song (instead "Thought we'd last a lifetime"). If this is an earlier version of the LoveDrug lyric, then I think it's plausible the others could also be from an earlier version of LoveDrug (or another released song). Or, maybe whoever updated the website misheard/misunderstood the lyrics.

After instagram, did "moondust gets everywhere" ever show up anywhere?

Nah. I could see "moondust gets everywhere" being a reference to Harlequin (Close To You). I could also see them being unused MAYHEM lyrics, purely because of LoveDrug lyrics being teased alongside Harlequin. They definitely don't appear on Harlequin, which I found strange at the time.

"I'm ready for my interview"

"Don't tell me what to wear"

"No duct tape, no mission" 

"Moondust gets everywhere"

And "Safety first"/"Everythings going great" on the exclusive merch tshirts.

It could be nothing, but it could also be something given the LoveDrug lyric on the wall.

Can we be delusional enough to believe those are "Frankensteined" lyrics, considering it was cut out last minute? . Unless there's another bonus track waiting to be released, it's not even that farfetched

These are the lyrics from the deluxe album

Does anyone remember what date the tracklist was revealed? These showing up on the 17th of February, with the album launching on 7th of March, doesn't leave a lot of time to change things around (I'm assuming). Kinda makes me think it's intentionally teasing something (copium)

Don't ask me which minute, but at some point she says it, lol.

Part of me wonders if she had planned to release more songs, but then stopped for whatever reason. It would explain the unused lyrics and the Telephone sequel she keeps teasing. I feel like there's still a lot of the MAYHEM era to uncover, and it only feels like we've scratched the surface of it all. Other than the tour, though, what other things does she have planned?

I feel like she always does it and wish she would stop

I don't think there's going to be a Deluxe edition and honestly don't feel like Mayhem needs it. If she is inspired during tour to write new music I'd love to see that evolve into a whole new concept and album of it's own. Mayhem finally feels like it comes from a happy Gaga place rather than ARTPOP, Joanne and Chromatica coming from pain and sadness. And I feel like now that she's this inspired again, a new album would come sooner than the break between Chromatica and Mayhem.

maybe these are songs that will appear in a deluxe rerelease? that'd be nice
