Not only do I think this song is about the obvious, her being just as strong as the man in the relationship and all, I also think this is some great commentary and gender and patriarchal culture. If you watch her video, you can see famous figures such as Michael Jackson, Ghandi, Jesus. She wants to be just as famous and important as these influential men were. In another scene in the video you can see them taking blood from these people and injecting them into Gaga. This is great social commentary in my opinion. Her songs and videos definitely have more layers and meaning than most think.
