So Happy I Could Die Lyrics

"I love that lavender blonde. The way she moves, the way she walks." I think she is referring to herself here. She loves that confidence she illuminates, even though she always doesn't feel that way.

I think all the lines about touching herself are her saying that (while under the influence of alcohol or drugs) all she needs is herself to feel good. It gives her that ability to not need anyone else besides that bottle.

"Just give in, Don't give up baby, Open up your heart and your mind to me." The temptation of the alcohol. "Just know when, That glass is empty, that the world is gonna bend" The world is not as good as it seems with alcohol. (that ones pretty self explanatory, haha)

The chorus, to me, is the feeling of being just plain drunk. The whole beat changes to a more slow, slurred beat. She feels up in the clouds, higher than life while drunk. That's why she's so happy she could die, the alcohol makes her feel that good.

Fear of Alcohol Monster, Fear of Addiction Monster. One of my favorites on the CD!

Lady Gaga seems to be showing a more insecure side on this new CD, and I love how she can be risky enough to do that. Considering she's known for being so confident, it's nice to see how she is in fact a real person.

@stripeypopcans 100% agreed with this, great comment
