blasting, blazing, stars exploding
a cosmic war raging in the sky and all that i could hear
was your last goodbye
hope youll come back again even though i know
you are heartless
cause you took off my dress and you never put it on again
its kind of a bunch of pretentious, over blown nonsense but it still shats on several careers.
But exactly 30 seconds in, the first chorus turns the volume up to 11 and the song never relents. There’s barely room to breathe, for the singer or the listener. When the song runs out of choruses less than two minutes in, it even resorts to the dreaded truck driver’s key change. Gaga belts the title over and over like a mantra but it never becomes any more profound. The real Perfect Illusion isn’t love; it’s a blank metaphor her voice tries and fails to imbue with meaning.
gaga's vocals are unlistenable. the haughty, contrived accent and enunciation, the "husky" screaming, the overall histrionics. she sounds like a sloppy, drunk, manly freakazoid.
what's even scarier is that she's only 30 and she sounds like this... imagine how heinous her vocals will be when she continues to age, slamming down the booze and sucking on them cigarettes, while further subsuming herself to this gritty rock culture that encourages these screamo vocals
