Track 1 [ Marry The Night ]
Is about [her/GaGa] going back to New York . [She] wrote [the song] about the courage it
took for [her] to say ‘I hate Hollywood, I just wanna live in Brooklyn and make music’.”
She reiterated this sentiment in her interview with E! News, saying that the song was about
her not assimilating to Hollywood and moving back to New York and to go back to her friends
and family in her old apartment which she's been living in.
Track 2 [ Born This Way ]
“I wrote it in ten fucking minutes and it is a completely magical message song.
And after I wrote it, the gates just opened, and the songs kept coming. It was like an
immaculate conception.” Lady Gaga stated, "When I started writing it, [it] was meant to
be a song about revolution and freedom and lack of prejudice. And when I started to create
the visuals for it, I thought so much about my fans and in so many ways it is the monsters
that created the imagery."
Track 3 [ Government Hooker ]
was inspired by Marilyn Monroe + Political mistresses .
"I wonder what they were privy to and what they affected" .
Track 5 [ Americano ]
a big mariachi techno-house record, where I am singing about immigration law and
gay marriage and all sorts of things that have to do with disenfranchised communities
in America . "It is about what American dream means to me" .
Track 6 [ Hair ]
I wrote HAIR about how parents used to get pissed at my outfits and my hair
when I was a kid . "It it about freedom and your own identity" .
Track 7 [ Scheiße ]
I went to a dirty party in Berlin and wrote it the next day . Its about wanting to be bad
without permission . Shit .
Track 8 [ Bloody Mary ]
"I believe that Mary Magdalene was both fully divine and fully human. She has to be
strong when Jesus fulfills the prophecy to die for everyone’s sins , but she still has the
moment of humanity where she’s upset to let him go. She had to be a superstar, but she
must have cried too." It is inspired by my car and Mary Magdalene .
It is about living halfway between reality and fantasy .
Track 9 [ Black Jesus † Amen Fashion ]
The song was about when she moved to downtown New York when she was 19.
The lyrics are about how when Gaga moved downtown, she was introduced to an entirely
new way of thinking that was so different from the way she was taught. Up till then,
iconic imagery had taught her her entire life to look at Jesus and religion a certain way.
So she sees Black Jesus as an entirely new way of thinking, which she believed was
caused by meeting new people and seeing new things. She says that the Amen Fashion
part of the song is about having a new way of seeing is as easy as changing your fashion
or how putting on a new spirit as easy as putting on fashion .
Track 10 [ Bad Kids ]
It is inspired by stories many monsters shared with me on the road .
I wanted a song to tribute their stories . #I'mABadKidToo
Track 11 [ Fashion of His Love ]
is about Alexander McQueen - London designer that created Plato's Atlantis, which
contained the McQueen Armadillo Stilettos and Dragon Heels, among other outfits
worn by GaGa . One of the very first songs GaGa wrote for the album. Prior to the release,
GaGa revealed that the song serves as a tribute to the late Alexander McQueen
and was written after his death .
Track 12 [ Highway Unicorn ]
It is about me (Lady GaGa) . Flying down the road , with nothing but a dream .
Track 13 [ Heavy Metal Lover ]
It is about "tonight bring all your friends , because a group does it better"
Last song recorded for the album .
Track 14 [ Electric Chapel ]
I began writing EC in Australia . I finished it in Europe on my tourbus .
In an interview with SHOWstudio, she called the Monster Ball an "Electric Chapel",
where her fans can go . It is about needing to feel safe finding love.
Track 15 [ The Queen ]
It is about Bravery . Being unafraid to be great .
Track 16 [ You & I ]
The song is about Lady Gaga's relationship in 2007-2008 with Luc Carl.
The song was written in New York on her first piano, in her parents' house.
According to the lyrics, the song describes Gaga's attempt to retrieve her lost love
during her break from The Monster Ball Tour in June of 2010.
Track 17 [ Edge of Glory ]
It is about your last moment on earth, the moment of truth, the moment before you
leave earth. In the same interview GaGa stated that she wrote "The Edge of Glory"
after the death of her grandfather .
