That's why she said in her ELLE interview, that she wish she could have been be advised to not be too hard on herself. In "Disease" MV she clearly tries to purge herself from the pain by making her traumas personas work hard till a healthier one appears. But it end badly cause she realize that her traumas are a part of her and she can't get rid of it. In "Abracadabra" it seems like she wants the blonde "Lady Gaga" persona to fit to the public and academic expectations. In the lyrics she addresses the phantom of the dance-floor to create a pop song bc that's what the lady in red wants. But it also seems like there's a sort of duality between the attempts to succeed and the reality : Mayhem in red represents a kind of dominatrix, evil force despite the fact that she was supposed to be a doctor. While "Lady Gaga" persona embodies the purity, she's dressed in white, her outfit are noble, she even wear a cross on her outfit and even did the Christ pose, etc... It seems like she wants to chose the right path so that's why she confronts Lady in Red at the end. https://youtu.be/vBynw9Isr28?t=260&si=l48cowpFywToTHzO I'm surprised that we didn't saw the car of Mayhem, I feel like the car crash symbolism is an important aspect of LG7 Love this take! Idk if it’s connected in any way, but the car crash in disease reminded me of this Joanne tour interlude 0 Quote ♡︎ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
