'Chromatica' is being praised for its lyrics and the ways in which Gaga has explored the themes throughout it through her clever play of words.

So what are your favourite lyrics from the album? Share as many as you'd like to wub.gif

This is my dancefloor, I fought for

It really hit me when she said this during the Beats 1 interview before the album came out, and hearing it in the context of the album it was an instant favourite lyrical moment! It means a lot for her returning to her dance roots after cementing her place in the history books and fighting to get to where she is. So much power in these few words.

My Biggest Enemy Is Me

It’s like a self sabotage song / message for herself about her past issues regarding substances... (I think) it stood out to me though because she wasn’t blaming others for her doings she was taking control and admitting that when she struggles she’s her own worst enemy. It’s a song I can relate too not for the topics discussed in the song but at times I think we’re all guilty of like being our own saboteur / worst enemy.

Before there was love, there was silence. I heard one sine and it healed my heart,

This is such a gorgeous lyric. Before discovering music, there was no love. Once the music hits you however, your heart is healed. R E L A T A B L E x music has the power to save you.

Every single day, yeah I dig a grave, and then I sit inside it wondering if I’ll behave

"This is my dancefloor, I fought for"

"Keep my dolls inside diamond boxes
Save 'em 'til I know I'm gon' drop this
Front I've built around my oasis
Paradise is in my hands"

"Every single day, yeah, I dig a grave
Then I sit inside it, wondering if I'll behave
It’s a game I play, and I hate to say
You're the worst thing and the best thing that's happened to me"

These!

Also, Sine from Above as it's basically the center of Chromatica.

I'm not perfect yet but I'll keep trying

I'd do anything for you to really see me
I am human and visibly bleeding


I cry more than I ever say

'1000 Doves' is really heart-wrenching cry.gif

Sick and tired of waking up
Screaming at the top of my lungs
Think I might've just left myself behind
Maestro, play me your symphony
I will listen to anything
Take me on a trip, DJ, free my mind


Finally got this ICONIC part of 'Alice' down to a tee when I sing along rap.gif

smashed it myself thanks to this post Gaga.png

y'all are just reminding me to actually pay attention to the lyrics! I know the odd bits here and there but I never really make an attempt to learn lyrics if they haven't come naturally to me.

i listened to the album for the first time the other day and "this is my dancefloor i fought for" also stood out for me immediately, but it was the pulse anniversary so I kind of understood it in that context... the fact that dancefloors are one of the few spaces where queer joy can be expressed unbridled, and still how vulnerable they are and how necessary it is to protect them
