ARTPOP was a creative, chaotic time in Lady Gaga’s life. I do feel it was ahead of its time. But in the end it become this electrical masterpiece. I love this album and always will. ARTPOP Forever! 🔵💜 #ARTPOP The title track “ARTPOP” Amazing song. Gaga's songwriting abilities at their finest. In the first verse, art is singing to pop (“Come to me, with all your glamour and cruelty / Just do the thing that you do, and I’ll undress you” referring to the sexual nature of pop stars and pop music today). In the second verse, pop is singing to art (“Come to me, with all your subtext and fantasy / Just do the thing that you do, in a perverse hue” making note of how contemporary art is widely misunderstood and even seen as “perverse” or stupid even though it's just the creator's "fantasy"). In the chorus, art and pop tell each other that they can belong together as one entity without separation or distinction. In other words, ARTPOP (one word). Not Art Pop, ArtPop, or Art-Pop. The placement of the song is also noteworthy - since it is the title track, it would make sense if it was the first song on the album, or even the last. However, it’s precisely in the middle. I believe this is because the song is supposed to serve as a reminder that, like the chorus says over and over again, Gaga’s ARTPOP “could mean anything!” Placing this song right after songs like Aura, G.U.Y., Do What U Want, MANiCURE, but also before songs like Swine, Mary Jane Holland, and Applause is supposed to make you aware that each of these songs has at least TWO meanings. (Ex: Swine could be about dancing or it could be about rape, Do What U Want could be taken as a sexual love song or as an intelligently-written criticism on music critics, G.U.Y. could either be about Greek mythology or about gender roles in 21st century America, MANiCURE could be about a manicure or about being man-cured after a bad relationship). After all, “my ARTPOP could mean anything” one day hopefully we get ‘ARTPOP Act II’ this album is beyond good and was ahead of its time but I have always loved and always will! #ARTPOP We need ARTPOP Act 2! 🔵😍💜
