The way I interpeted this video was that this video comments on her fear of men. She’s afraid of men because she has had her heart broken before (hence the mutiliated heart, the funeral, all the icy snow and moody atmosphere). Gaga faces the predicament of enjoying the lust and attention of her partners (because she does like it) and also feeling regretful and used when she realizes that they only want the physical side of a relationship. (This is depicted in several scenes but the one the sticks out most in my mind is when she gets thrown from man to man.) (I think the scene where she looks out of the window from behind her glasses is supposed to symbolize her admiration for gays for being so open and brave and for having a strong relationship that she, herself, can seem to achieve.) Gaga uses the religious attire to show that she may have the best intentions of having a meaningful and deep relationships but her lover(s) don’t. That’s why in the end she gives in by tearing off her shirt to delight of her male suitors (lovers) but you can see she’s not really happy. In fact she looks numb.
With this interpretation, it makes the entire song’s lyrics more meaningful. “Alejandro, Alejandro, don’t call my name.”
