What is Gaga's most devastating lyric?

Gaga has written a lot of songs over the years and her lyrics have been analysed to the nth degree by fans and critics alike! 

 

So what I want to know is, what lyric do you think is her most devastating? Is it a heat-wrenchingly sad or devastatingly beautiful one? Is it an obvious one, or a lyric hidden deep within a song that most people haven't picked up on? 

 

For me, two which some to mind immediately are: 

“I'm made of plastic like a human doll, You push and pull me, I don't hurt at all” - Perfect Celebrity. 

This lyric really reminds me of the 5 foot 2 documentary where she's talking to Brandon and says, "And all these people will leave, right? They will leave and then I’ll be alone. And I go from everyone touching me all day and talking at me all day to total silence". It's a relatively overt lyric in the sense of it highlighting Gaga feeling like people view her as un-human and infallible, and the song is one of many in Gaga's discography which is themed around the perils of fame and celebrity. 

 

And 

 

“I'm gonna marry the dark, Gonna make love to the stark, I'm a soldier to my own emptiness, I'm a winner” - Marry the Night.

The idea of 'marrying the darkness'  and being a 'soldier to emptiness' is haunting, the idea that you're loyally committing yourself to your own melancholy and finding strength and solace from that part of you in order to achieve, I find very powerful. This part of the song always gives me goosebumps.

alsoo

I'll swallow each peroxide shot volumes
I know a love and save me from myself
Maybe I'll just keep clean the **** off of these fancy shoes
I'll be a Princess Die and die with you

 

Stay Joanne

Heaven's not ready for you

Every part of my aching heart needs you more than the angels do

 

Doesn't everyone belong in the arms of the sacred?

 

It's not that I'm really over it

It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death

Princess Die 100%

"Leave the coffin open when I go
Leave my pearls and lipstick on, so everybody knows
Pretty will be the photograph I leave
Laying down on famous knives, so everybody sees"

"I'm hungry from an anorexic heart
I've been trying to tell you how I feel, but was never very smart
I'm wrapped in silks made for Egyptian queens
I'll do it in the swimming pool, so everybody sees"

"The final act of life will be my own hands to do
I'll be a Princess Die and die with you"

any one with mental health issues or people who overthink about everything, or people who deal with anxiety and all the umbrellas of it can relate massively to that. yet it is all wrapped up in an anthemic house bop

It's funny that Princess Die, Brooklyn Nights and I Wanna Be With You hold some of her deepest, most meaningful lyrics lol
