this was her suicide note.. she’s crying while singing the lyrics that years later have proven to be things she was going through at that time yet nobody had caught on it.
Yeah, if she hadn't broken her hip she probably would have killed herself some time after finishing the BTW Ball Tour, joining "The 27 club", this feels like she was trying to give her fans one final gift before departing from this world, but due to her surgery i bet her doctors or the people taking care of her noticed her depression and suicidal behaviour, and made her get help, which resulted in the difficult and painful era that ARTPOP was for her, medicated all the time, feeling like shit, with everyone who she loved and was close to her leaving her behind for money, i'm amazed at how strong she is for surviving all of that after quite literally making up her mind about comitting suicide and singing it live to her fans every show she could... I'm so glad Chromatica took her to a way better place, as painful as the process was for her, she's still healing of course, but we're hopefully far away from "Princess Die"
It's fantastic that she's so good that this didn't even make her top (approx) 70 of songs she wrote (those better songs being the ones she considered good enough for albums).
I miss the born this way era In such a nostalgic kinda way I look back on it with such fond memories of my "youth" feels like a genuine era.. I do miss it but I love where she is now even more....
At first I was unhappy that this song wasn't released but now I think about it, releasing this song now wouldn't fit her albums, it such a sad song and I feel like Gaga won't to such a concept anymore, this song fits with btw era so well. And yes I'm also soooo happy where she is now, such a wonderful artist
Never experienced a bonding like this era.. it's ubdescribeable how Lady Gaga and the community kept me a life. This era took courage and gave me courage I will never forget until I die.
I hate seeing her cry all this woman deserves is to be happy she’s an angel who has done so much for millions of us monsters if the whole world saw the world like she sees it the world would truly be a better place I’m sobbing I would not be here today without this incredible woman she’s my whole world I’m a little monster till death and after love you so much Gaga the biggest inspiration in the world ❤️😭🌎💞🙌🏻
I can see why people associate this song with having to do with Princess Diana, however, I believe this song to be more along the lines of a suicide note from Lady Gaga herself. This was a cry for help, and I'm glad she's still with us to this day.
GAGA IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF CREATION I THINK WE'VE EVER WITNESSED AND I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT ANYBODY HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS COMMENT OR ABOUT HER SO, "BYE FELICIA!"
Her new documentary will give this song even more of a dark and intimate meaning into what was going on in the critical moment in here career. Her "little monster" were starting to leave her, she was addicted to prescription drugs and dope and most of all the media turned her back on her. She was suicidal at this time and I am so thankful she never took her life. MONSTER FOR LIFE
I believe this song is not so much about celebrity suicide, but how sometimes she just wants to be a 'normal' person and not be famous. I'm sure she LOVES being famous, but being famous is probably difficult, especially since she's been famous basically for... forever. She's never really lived an actual normal life. It's kind of sad, really. You can see how much emotion she puts into this particular song. I love her with all of my heart.
well i honestly think it’s not about celebrity suicide but suicide in general mostly probably about her being suicidal but she just added a concept to it
lyrics: Leave the coffin open when I go Leave my pearls and lipstick on, so everybody knows Pretty will be the photograph I leave Laying down on famous knives, so everybody sees Bleach out all the dark I'll swallow each peroxide shot Someone I'll know could love and save me from myself Maybe I'll just clean the shit off of these fancy shoes I'll be a Princess Die and die with you I wish that I was strong I wish that I was wrong I wish that I could cope But I took pills and left a note I'm so hungry from an anorexic heart I've been trying to tell you how I feel, but was never very smart I'm wrapped in silks made for Egyptian queens I'll do it in the swimming pool, so everybody sees Bleach out all the dark I'll swallow each peroxide shot I'll need someone to love and save me from myself Maybe I'll just keep clean the shit off of these fancy shoes I'll be a Princess Die and die with you Princess die I want to see her cry Princess die Princess die We want to watch her cry Princess die I wish that I could go in my rich boyfriend's limo Right after he proposed with a 16-carat stone wrapped in rose gold With the paparazzi all swarming around In my Louis Vuitton white buttoned down Oh, it's not that deep So bob your head for another dead blonde whose real prince is in heaven She just wants to sleep Princess die I want to see her cry Princess die Princess die We want to watch her cry Princess die The final act of life will be my own hands to do I'll be a Princess Die and die with you
as much as we love this song i think it's clear that it brings her so much pain. i often consider the btw era to be our love's most painful. we love you so!i hope you are happy now x
It amazes me how open she is with her fans and how shes not afraid to be that venerable in-front of her fans. I will forever have so much respect for this woman and how talented she is.
Back in 2012 I didn’t really understand what she was singing, but now I am older and I understand. This is probably my favorite song of hers, I hope the studio version leaks
Not trying to get into conspiracy theories, but it is still curious that when she decided to start singing this song regularly on the BTW Ball tour, she was 26. And 27 is a number with a lot of weight when it comes to suicidal behaviour in the entertainment industry (Amy, Cobain, Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison, ...). When I watch her sing this song, it always seems she is sending a note, warning, preparing us or something. Maybe I'm seeing too much. I don't know if it was merely a coincidence, but it's a fact they cancelled the rest of the tour in february, due to the "surgery". She was about to be 27 a few weeks later.
She said a few times that breaking her hip saved her life. She was burning out. She'd have to be suicidal to write this song. If you've been suicidal at least once in your life, you know these are the exact thoughts you go through when you want to end yourself.
I remember the exact day this video came out and I was sad because I didn't know gaga felt that way. Listening to it now.. I understand my poor queen has gone through so much.
How nostalgic I’m feeling, I was 12-13 when Gaga came into my life, she was my only friend and I survived because of her. I remember these videos and I wanna cry because I was so sad, so deeply destroyed and she puts the pieces of me together again.
I remember ppl talk negatively about this song. Ppl associate it with late Princess Di. I feel that too but what's the matter, I believe she just tried to express her concern about what happened to the late princess and the mental health issue around this and herself. And thanks God Gaga made it through.. don't cry anymore baby.. you deserved all thr happiness in this universe ❤💜
I know I'm not alone, this song never fail to save from my dark thoughts. At Verse 2, you can see in her face that she poured so much emotion into thism
no one commenting including myself knows what it's like to go through having millions of fans and have to deal with every-day stress and money with the industry and dealing with her own personal battles like every other person so I think people should lay off because she's gone through a lot in her life and we are all not her, so we can't ever judge someone else for their own decisions because it's their life. coexist
she seems like another person. not only the way she dressed and the fact that she was younger, but the way she spoke and her whole energy and aura. I wasn't a fan back then but I really understand why LM miss that era so much. And at the same time I'm happy she's in a better place mentally rn
It's a powerful song, and that's a powerful performance. The song is a suicide note and her words are dripping with sarcasm when she invites the audience to sing along. Then they cheer when she sings 'I'll be a Princess Die and die with you'. No wonder she gave them the fingers. I don't think she could ever release this song, but it would be hard to top this performance anyway.
Your face isn't a mask Dont cover it❤ Your skin isn't paper Dont cut it❤ Your head isn't a target Dont shoot it❤ Your neck isn't a hanger Dont hang it❤ Your heart isn't a door Dont lock it..❤ Your life isn't a film... Dont end it..❤❤
The best performance artist this century. From over the top productions to ballads on the piano like this and several masterpieces over her career words cant describe her artistry

that's because people kept saying /comparing it to Princess Diana

I to struggle for most of my life, even on meds. It's a day to day struggle for sure for me. I love Gaga, I want to be a singer, I'm over 50.
I fear that too, she was having a real bad time and seeking for help :'(
@@tzstar7215 it's never too late, I hope you can do it and I wish you the best ♥
It is a crime that this is not on an album.
It's fantastic that she's so good that this didn't even make her top (approx) 70 of songs she wrote (those better songs being the ones she considered good enough for albums).
Honestly even if this song has studio version, it will never beat any of the live versions. This is just so emotion-fused.
this is so true
iknooowwww
Just look into her eyes and you can see so far into her soul!
Gaga didn't release this because she thought it wasn't one of her best pieces of work. She couldn't be more wrong! :-((
WHAT!? This one of my favorite Gaga songs!!
Fanfan Lin thought it was bc of her label. That's why she only performed it live
My name is Skeleton. Both Brooklyn Nights and Princess Die were made/wrote for ARTPOP.
She said that this song wouldn't be included in ARTPOP because it wasn't as good as the actual tracks on ARTPOP. I disagree with that...
these two, BN and PD, were best than many of the ARTPOP tracks
I got so many chills watching this...I hate when she cries😰
It’s 2020 and I still listen to this and cry like it was the first time
I relate even in 2024...
I miss the born this way era In such a nostalgic kinda way I look back on it with such fond memories of my "youth" feels like a genuine era.. I do miss it but I love where she is now even more....
I’m crying
At first I was unhappy that this song wasn't released but now I think about it, releasing this song now wouldn't fit her albums, it such a sad song and I feel like Gaga won't to such a concept anymore, this song fits with btw era so well. And yes I'm also soooo happy where she is now, such a wonderful artist
God how I miss the born this way era :(

Guilherme and now I also miss the Artpop era
Never experienced a bonding like this era.. it's ubdescribeable how Lady Gaga and the community kept me a life. This era took courage and gave me courage I will never forget until I die.

What documentary was this?
It is illegal to write about us without our approval.
So their Vaudville would end.
Who the fuck you? ..
Michael Naness forever..
I love 6:12 to 6:43 so much - just the buildup to "She *just wants to sleep" and then slamming* into the break elicits CHILLS omg
I saw this live and I cry. She is perfect ♥
u.u 💔💔💔
THIS IS MAKING ME CRY... THERE IS DEEP SADNESS IN THIS SONG...
I really wish she would do an acoustic recording of this song on a future album. It's one of the best songs she has ever written. 😢
Gaga knows how to write incredible, powerful lyrics.
You could tell she poured her heart into these lyrics.
I wish the studio version would leak
@paul time No.
really when?? @@chasee.9524

why do u think its about that
well i honestly think it’s not about celebrity suicide but suicide in general mostly probably about her being suicidal but she just added a concept to it
"She just wants to sleep." I'm glad she's getting some rest now. I hope she takes all the time she needs.
umm i tihink that line means sumthing else
"She's meditating guys"~
I miss these days so much...
i too 😰
Me too.
lyrics:
Leave the coffin open when I go
Leave my pearls and lipstick on, so everybody knows
Pretty will be the photograph I leave
Laying down on famous knives, so everybody sees
Bleach out all the dark
I'll swallow each peroxide shot
Someone I'll know could love and save me from myself
Maybe I'll just clean the shit off of these fancy shoes
I'll be a Princess Die and die with you
I wish that I was strong
I wish that I was wrong
I wish that I could cope
But I took pills and left a note
I'm so hungry from an anorexic heart
I've been trying to tell you how I feel, but was never very smart
I'm wrapped in silks made for Egyptian queens
I'll do it in the swimming pool, so everybody sees
Bleach out all the dark
I'll swallow each peroxide shot
I'll need someone to love and save me from myself
Maybe I'll just keep clean the shit off of these fancy shoes
I'll be a Princess Die and die with you
Princess die
I want to see her cry
Princess die
Princess die
We want to watch her cry
Princess die
I wish that I could go in my rich boyfriend's limo
Right after he proposed with a 16-carat stone wrapped in rose gold
With the paparazzi all swarming around
In my Louis Vuitton white buttoned down
Oh, it's not that deep
So bob your head for another dead blonde whose real prince is in heaven
She just wants to sleep
Princess die
I want to see her cry
Princess die
Princess die
We want to watch her cry
Princess die
The final act of life will be my own hands to do
I'll be a Princess Die and die with you
as much as we love this song i think it's clear that it brings her so much pain. i often consider the btw era to be our love's most painful. we love you so!i hope you are happy now x
best song she’s ever written
It amazes me how open she is with her fans and how shes not afraid to be that venerable in-front of her fans. I will forever have so much respect for this woman and how talented she is.
Gaga got me through ALOT with this song. It’s very relatable I love you Gaga. I wish I could have seen you for the BTW Ball in Chicago. I love you
I always cry and have goosebumps on her live performances, but none of them like this one. lucky to see it live in Bucharest
Back in 2012 I didn’t really understand what she was singing, but now I am older and I understand. This is probably my favorite song of hers, I hope the studio version leaks
this is so sad like when i was watching it i was literally crying
Stephen Jay Robredillo wow queen of crying
Me too
This song always makes me emotional...
Not trying to get into conspiracy theories, but it is still curious that when she decided to start singing this song regularly on the BTW Ball tour, she was 26. And 27 is a number with a lot of weight when it comes to suicidal behaviour in the entertainment industry (Amy, Cobain, Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison, ...). When I watch her sing this song, it always seems she is sending a note, warning, preparing us or something. Maybe I'm seeing too much. I don't know if it was merely a coincidence, but it's a fact they cancelled the rest of the tour in february, due to the "surgery". She was about to be 27 a few weeks later.
that's actually a really cool conspiracy :)
Leo She’s okay now. She broke her hip and that’s why she cancelled the tour. God Bless 👍
She said a few times that breaking her hip saved her life. She was burning out. She'd have to be suicidal to write this song. If you've been suicidal at least once in your life, you know these are the exact thoughts you go through when you want to end yourself.
the surgery was coz she had broken her hip lo not her trying to stop the tour or whatever
What if she actually died and now were living upon her clone, I know she apart of MK ultra
I remember the exact day this video came out and I was sad because I didn't know gaga felt that way. Listening to it now.. I understand my poor queen has gone through so much.
This just shows how talented she really is. Love this song!
"don't u just hate it when you crown get stuck in ur motorbike??" LMAO LIKE SERIOUSLY GAGA ?
How nostalgic I’m feeling, I was 12-13 when Gaga came into my life, she was my only friend and I survived because of her. I remember these videos and I wanna cry because I was so sad, so deeply destroyed and she puts the pieces of me together again.
Top 5 Gaga songs of all time, I cry every time
This song aged different now that the princess Elizabeth II died
This song is so sad, it makes me sad to think she's ever felt so low :(
same
This song should be.... One of the most seen and adored songs of hers... All tears, love ya lady Gaga and all of you little monsters❤️❤️
One of her Best ballads.... :D Princess Die...
one of her best works and i wish it gets released or get something
Omg Gaga please release the studio version of this. this is a fcking masterpiece. y'all can't deny it ♥♥
This hurts my heart to watch. To see her so emotional not only speaks volumes about the emotional content of the lyrics but it makes me so sad.
"Just a minute, my tiara is stuck in my motorcycle..." - those are the words that only Gaga can say. 😂
I'll never get over this song 😭
Gaga always make me cry.
I remember ppl talk negatively about this song. Ppl associate it with late Princess Di. I feel that too but what's the matter, I believe she just tried to express her concern about what happened to the late princess and the mental health issue around this and herself. And thanks God Gaga made it through.. don't cry anymore baby.. you deserved all thr happiness in this universe ❤💜
omg she's so cute, I love her so much
I know I'm not alone, this song never fail to save from my dark thoughts. At Verse 2, you can see in her face that she poured so much emotion into thism
This song kills me everytime
Gaga is such a strong woman, she's been through so many things and she's still so awesome and great. I love her with all my heart
that year I was only 15, I still can sing along with the lyrics now, how time flies and love GAGA forever!💓
no one commenting including myself knows what it's like to go through having millions of fans and have to deal with every-day stress and money with the industry and dealing with her own personal battles like every other person so I think people should lay off because she's gone through a lot in her life and we are all not her, so we can't ever judge someone else for their own decisions because it's their life. coexist
This was a cry for help, 100%. I'm in the same place now
she seems like another person. not only the way she dressed and the fact that she was younger, but the way she spoke and her whole energy and aura. I wasn't a fan back then but I really understand why LM miss that era so much. And at the same time I'm happy she's in a better place mentally rn
I've been obsessed with this song since day one. It's such a beautiful song
This song still fucks me up emotionally. Can't believe it's never going to be released.
06:54 is everything.
Erden Ülker I think the same.
this woman is literal perfection. end of story. she deserves the whole entire universe. love her more than anyone ever ❤️❤️ thank you for everything
i forgot about this song and now that i know it exists again i’m in so much pain lol
CHILLS EVERY TIME
"look at thisssss, when you werent looking my motorcycle turned into a piano" LOVE HER and this beautiful song :]
I loved this since the first day I saw it
Of all the live versions that exist of this, I think this is the definitive one - her vocals here are something else.
best lyrics ever!!!!!!
It's a powerful song, and that's a powerful performance. The song is a suicide note and her words are dripping with sarcasm when she invites the audience to sing along. Then they cheer when she sings 'I'll be a Princess Die and die with you'. No wonder she gave them the fingers.

jedesmal wieder Gänsehaut bei dem Song. Ich war da live dabei und am 2.11. dieses Jahres treff ich sie. Artpoptickets! Nervös.....^^ :D
OMG!!! I WAS THERE!! I am so happy that I have found this video. A big thank you to the uploader!
This is the song that I’ll be listening to when my time comes… I love you, Mother Monster! ❤️😭
I wish I get to watch her live one day :( I love this woman so much.
I would kill for a studio acoustic version of this 😭
her voice is incredibly beautiful
I want this to be on ARTPOP act II soooooooo bad!!!! :(

This isss a freaking masterpiece 😮
I can't see her when she cries. I cry too

Your head isn't a target
Dont shoot it❤
Your neck isn't a hanger
Dont hang it❤
Your heart isn't a door
Dont lock it..❤
Your life isn't a film...
Dont end it..❤❤
"Don't you just hate when your crown gets caught in your motorbike?" Christ, I love this woman.
Her eyes 💗
After almost 3 months i still can't believe that i was there :')
Very personal song no wonder she was choking in her emotion. 😭❤️
This is actually about Princess Diana. I love you Gaga! We all love you. Diana, the people’s Princess. Forever in our hearts ❤
Don't you just hate it, when your crown gets stuck in ypur motorbike? ♥
I love this woman with all of me.. Just that..
The best performance artist this century. From over the top productions to ballads on the piano like this and several masterpieces over her career words cant describe her artistry
We need an album of songs that were not released! Princess Die, Brooklin Nights, Bitch Don't kill my vibe, Greatest thing,
I love those days in BTW era ✨💞
