Song Meanings

[Shadows]

Is there a website that breaks down meanings of songs?

Like I was trying to figure out wtf, "Alejandro" was about by Lady Gaga. She confuses me sometimes.

...but besides that, I always like to hear other's opinions like on Pac's songs and stuff like that.

I cant seem to find a decent one.

^ thats the same site i go to when just generally looking at song meanings its not too bad asite

 

[Stone_Cold]

Yeah I use that site too but I find it pretty hit and miss, sometimes u get good info, other times u dont.

Only other thing I do sometimes is search for the song on youtube and read through all the comments at the bottom, sometimes u get a pearl of wisdom.

Or I guess u could go to yahoo answers and post up a question.

"Alejandro" is clearly about insomnia. And the cure she describes does work.

Well, "The Fame Monster" is actually loosely a conceptual album with each song representing a certain "Fear/Monster".

Gaga has explained that "Alejandro" represents the fear of men and sex. This fits in with the lyrics:

Don’t call my name,
Don’t call my name, Alejandro
I’m not your babe,
I’m not your babe, Fernando
Don’t wanna kiss
Don’t wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don’t call my name,
Don’t call my name, Roberto

Don’t bother me,
Don’t bother me, Alejandro
Don’t call my name,
Don’t call my name, bye Fernando
I’m not your babe,
I’m not your babe, Alejandro
Don’t wanna kiss,
Don’t wanna touch, Fernando

I love the song, it's funny how it's clearly obvious that she's a big fan of the band Ace of Base. It's the second song she's done utilizing their sound, the first being "Eh, Eh".

The production is just insane on that track. Some of the synths remind me of our own remix we did for our last single:
