| Lady GaGa – Fashion! Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I completely agree, but I'd add that this song seems self-deprecating. Part of her can acknowledge that a love for fashion and super-thin models is ignorant and short-lived, but another, more theatrical -- maybe even more primal -- part of her can appreciate the beauty of it. |

| Oh, and if you listen around the very first verse where she says "I like you a lot-lot // Think you're really hot-hot" I think you'll hear the silliness. She sounds a bit ditzy there, and I don't think it was accidental. =P | |

I agree with justlisten. And Raffish, this song doesn't have to be either/or. I think it's meant to be both. What I mean by that is I think this song applies to many different meanings, mainly that she likes boys, obviously, and also that she feels kind of silly about how much she likes them. I see this song, and the rest of the album, in a kind of satirical, self-deprecating light. I say that because I think GaGa sometimes feels a little stupid about what she does sometimes, but she has fun with it; she's aware of her weaknesses (obsession with boys, fame, et cetera) and often remarks about them, but she enjoys it and does her own thing. If you listen to the entire album critically--mainly the title song, The Fame--I believe you'll notice the satire in her music, though it's certainly intertwined with a bit of truth about herself as well. It's important to keep in mind that songs can have multiple meanings like this instead of thinking so linearly. |

| I hate to keep typing multiple comments, but I'm listening to the rap part now, and it's clearly satire, D4MVP. | |

I think when she sings "I guess I did it wrong ... American life [American life] I live the American dream [American dream] You are the best thing I've seen You are not just a dream [American life]" she really tips listeners off as far as the meaning goes. |

I think most of you have the song meaning a little twisted. She's saying, "Look at this lifestyle: it's materialistic, it spreads ignorance and it's selfish. Why did I get caught up in that? I'm glad I'm over it now. Since I've been released from the bonds that have once oppressed me, here's a song about my struggle and why you shouldn't make the same mistakes." At least that's how I see it. |
