Also, has anyone else noticed that ARTPOP works a lot with pairs and duality between songs, and any given pair of songs will have a given theme.
G..U.Y. and Sexxx Dreams deal with sex.
Donatella and Fashion! both deal with fashion.
Mary Jane Holland and Dope deal wit hdrugs and actually show her progression as a person.
Aura and Applause deal with who Gaga is as a person ("girl behind the aura", " I live for the applause")
ARTPOP annd Venus (or at least the visual imagery of Venus and the seashell girl look) deal with the concept of artpop, and the fusion of the two.
Swine and MANiCURE are both aggressive songs, but deal with polar opposite concepts, wanting to be loved by one's lover and the anger one has toward a "pig inside a human body".
"Jewels N Drugs" is the only odd one out, but, really, who the hell knows what that song is about, anyway?
Alejandro is my favorite song of hers and I only like Applause this era. Like literally nothing else, not even MV's, interviews or performances. It's all a mess imo.
