| Lady GaGa – Born This Way Lyrics

I think that Gaga is trying to illustrate that religion can coexist with whoever and whatever you are and choose to be. I see it as specifically addressing the issue of homosexuality in America today, using direct and indirect language to support anyone who feels ashamed for being who they are. For example, she says "don't be a drag, just be a queen"-- referring to drag-queens, telling them just to be queens and not draggy, a negative connotation towards the population. Perhaps she wrote the song to emphasize the needed support for gay equality (and virtually equality for all) and to show that anyone who is different has support against bullying, abuse, and injustice. |

I think this song is about love and the challenges that you face when trying to love someone. It's knowing that you don't have a deep emotional connection in your relationship, so at times you imagine you're in love with someone else, who this person is standing in place of. |

I believe that the band is describing Alzheimer's disease. The song emphasizes the burden of the disease that weighs down the patient and to those with whom the patient is close. Specifically in the song, the band illustrates a loving relationship represented metaphorically by the "house," which seems to get the two characters through the pain and suffering and the "tricks" that her mind is playing on her. The truth varies because she is unable to remember anything. He can't stand to see her with Alzheimer's because it's slowly eating her and her relationship away, like picking meat off the bone. |
