Brooklyn Nights Lyrics

Cover art for Brooklyn Nights  lyrics by Lady GaGa

If anyone is wondering about the meaning behind this song, it's about Lüc Carl, Gaga's ex boyfriend whom she dated off and on for about six years until their breakup in 2011. This song is talking about wanting to go back to the good ol' days and be their old selves again and remembering the good memories of the nights they spent together in Brooklyn. Gaga is basically saying "It's not that I don't love you, and it's not that I'm over you, but I can't continue to watch us fall apart and bleed to death when we used to be so happy together." They didn't have a perfect relationship, but she really did love him and she tried hard to make it work out between them even though it didn't. Gaga is saying that she wishes that she could just go back and have one last night in Brooklyn where she and Lüc could sit down together and be their former selves instead of the people they grew to be.
