gidone 65 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 full thing here, I think its a pretty accurate a--lysis: http://gaga--lysis.tumblr.com/post/37159579788/lyric-a--lysis-marry-the-night By Gaga saying that "skeleton guns are wedding bells in the attic", my view is that she’s equating a skeleton gun - the tool used to help you build things, and physically seal them - to a metaphorical “building†or “sealing†of a relationship. In Marry the Night she sings about committing to the night (something unknown, but also something full of endless opportunity), and in the video she recounts a stylized version of her time with Def Jam and subsequent contract with Interscope. So there are a lot of metaphors working at once, here. Gaga uses marriage (the most significant and emotional kind of relationship you can create) to symbolize her highly significant relationship with her music, and her identity as an artist. Even when committed to a label, or in a romantic relationship, the most important pairing is Gaga + music. Gaga is proclaiming just how impenetrable her commitment is to music: it’s water tight, air tight… no question. Nothing will get between them. Skeleton guns = her guarantee to commit Are wedding bells = her relationship with music In the attic = music/career that’s genuine and long-lasting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropico 4,145 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It means that you need to come to terms with your past (skeletons in your closet if you will) if you want to move on with your life. Instead of viewing your past struggles as 'skeletons'.. marry them (see them as wedding bells), make them a part of you/accept them so they no longer hold you back.

MelbHawker 6,206 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Not at all. Does nobody know what a skeleton gun is? I spy a lessor doubting my genius status. Gurl, it's a metaphor. When one talks about a skeleton in the context of their own life, they refer to someone or something that has negatively affected them in their past that they hide within themselves. Adding 'gun' on the end of skeleton could maybe mean that in Gaga's life - her skeletons have affected her so badly that she has at some point felt they could've ended her life. It's open for interpretation.. but like, if you showed my ideologies about MTN (my ultimate jam) to Queen Gaga, she'd knight me. Don't challenge me gurl.
