Here's the context in which she said it

In terms of you not having written about yourself before, we've talked about this in the past but people say that you discuss all these issues in your interviews then when it comes to the music there's nothing there. Obviously the 'Born This Way' single was a moment where you put your money where your mouth is, and it feels like the rest of the album pulls that into focus and perhaps uses less broad strokes.
The rest of the album is less invasive, I think.
What do you mean by 'less invasive'?
It's ['Born This Way'] invasive! It's a big booming track. If you sing 'God makes no mistakes, I was born this way', it's invasive.
It's a song that it's hard to listen to without hearing the lyrics. With a lot of songs, you don't really hear the lyrics...
Well, including my songs. Like 'Just Dance'.
Perhaps, although the first time I heard that song the lyrics seemed unusually descriptive of a night out. It seems like a long time ago now, but there was a directness about the lyrics that wasn't common in 2008. But anyway...
That's part of the reason I was so excited to put 'Born This Way' out. If it had been hidden in a bunch of metaphors it would have been atrocious and boring and it would have mean nothing. I want to create a truly amazing song that...(Sigh, long pause) That refuted the trendiness that has become being yourself.
Can you explain?
It's become trendy now - and it's my fault - or cool, to be avant-garde. Or be daring in everything you do. I'm speaking specifically about pop music here. I wanted to make something that - although the track is quite forward - I didn't want it to feel trendy. The minute you start hiding the message of the track, or use stupid metaphors, well then all you get is 'Just Dance' with a soul, and it already has a soul.
