Pomegranates also symbolize Persephone, who is the wife of Hades and therefore, the goddess of the underworld. It might as well mean that she perceived it as being in hell.
Did you notice that at the point where he's tethering her back to life (with the rope) when she hits the ground it cuts to real life (blink and you miss it)
This video is so haunting. The visuals in the beginning are so beautiful and artistic which is a true staple of Gaga. Then this scene, more than likely her body/minds way of protecting her, starts to crumble (as she’s screaming) and she awakens to the harsh reality of what happened. I agree that I think she was on the bike and got hit or swerved on her bike and the other guy crashed his car as well (dude slamming his head). I was shelled shocked at first but I’ve watched it a few times now and I enjoy it sooo much. Music videos are not dead. They are still fully alive and impactful
Julian Ortega She was inspired by an Armenian filmmaker Parajanov’s film called “Color of Pomegranates” (1969). There are many Armenian symbols in this music video about armenians and their culture. And also the word “զգուշություն” written on the tape means caution. 🇦🇲 Hope you can find the film in English )
There is so much references to the Armenian culture in this clip : the pomegranates, the Armenian film festival at the end, references to the 1968 movie « The color of pomegranates », the word written in the yellow tape that means « Caution »; I am proud of my Armenian origins and I love Lady Gaga ! 💗
I actually started tearing up hearing Gaga screaming and crying. She’s digging in, getting messy and has come out of the other side with a true understanding of how her mental illness has affected her. I totally understand where this is coming from, 911 is one of my favorite songs on this album. Gaga and her team created a beautiful representation of her mind.
hahaha She left the cinema, after seeing the movie with the desert references. She was on the bike, If you notice she has a red bracelet on her foot all the time, referring to the accident, the one with the horse, the "Zorro" is death, and she follows him blindly until the doctors arrive and they start to save her. The one on the mummified ground is the person who died who appears at the end with the woman crying. The hieroglyphs that come out near the end, if you notice it's the scene of the accident. OMG so many references everywhere hahaha
If you pick apart the lyrics of the song you’ll understand how she’s fighting with a mental illness that when it goes out of control can become harmful to her and everyone around her. “I didn’t have my pills” (she caused the accident) she feels like a danger to everyone else “my biggest enemy is me pop a 911” (a 911 call is what saved her life)
i believe she caused the accident. she said she didn’t take her meds so the voices in her head told her to drive her bike into traffic, hurting everyone involved including herself. that’s why she’s asking if anyone died and apologizing to the paramedics. the film before we see the ending is what goes on in her mind as she’s dying and being revived by the paramedics. every element from the accident shows up in her hallucinations.
Love Gaga’s interpretation of her 911 video and the car accident along with her past explanation and mental health struggle and what the song represents in that.From the guy constantly hitting his head which I’ve seen in rotations in the ED to the people singing her song representing the different voices in her head when she needs to pop a pill to calm those voices.
The papess shining the mirror on her face while she was floating away to heaven and the warrior guy tying her down by the leg to keep her on earth THEY WERE EMTs the ending shook me to the core that was genius oh my god
It’s a video showing mental health and all the people in the accident are all part of the video. She was seeing everything around her different because she didn’t have her pills.

Ironic, isn't it?
The rich guy without any wounds or a single scratch on his car was attended to the fullest while the other lady with maybe a dead person on her lap was left unattended. I think GaGa is interpreting injustice depending your status in life
A part of the vid that nobody sees is right after she is pulled down from floating, it flashes for a second to her on the stretcher in reality, because they tried to revive her then she went back into the visions
I saw the vid yesterday and watched it a bazillion times and i was just like: "i HAVE to see at least 1 gay guy react to this."😂😂😂 Jokes aside though, this is perfection. Your reaction is perfection as well. With love from South Africa🇿🇦
In interviews, she revealed that the song is about her taking an antipsychotic drug. “911” thus represents the pill functioning as an emergency reset for her.
I didn’t realize this until I rewatched the video for the 10th time.... I was critical, to my friends of the LG promo at the end but... LG is also the initial of lady Gaga and rumored title of this last album LG 6. Also the irony that the LG’s motto is “Life is Good” when there’s nothing but chaos going on.

She'a the bicycler. 5 people got involved the accident. Lady Gaga, a couple, a rich guy, and the other driver. Lady Gaga broke her ankle. The boyfriend of the couple died, the rich guy needed oxygen and the driver got hit on the head.
When the beat kicks in it looks like she's looking through the car window and the guys in yellow are the firemen trying to cut her out of the car. Yet she's clearly the cyclist, so that's a bit confusing to me.
This is definitely giving me Wizard of OZ vibes.. Is it just me, orrr. love you guys. You two always have me laughing in this shitty and sad quarantine. 💝 Thanks to you both. 😁😁
Well she is the reason of the accident, thats why she said sorry and she is so concerned if anyone died, she didn't take her medicine and end up hearing some voices (lyrics: I have heard enough of this voices) telling her to commit suicide and crashing into traffic is her suicide way(lyrics: almost like i have no choice), lyrics say alot in a situation, she has this mental health cobdition. And her music video, those are the thing she will probably see because those are the last thing she saw before she collapse. Like dreaming, we experience dream because of the thing we do before we go to sleep,
This video is about her mental health. The entire film is a conceptual piece about how the all the drugs she was taking made her in a way “crazy”. So the video is pretty much her in her own mental world picturing what it is actually happening (the accident), but through beauty (her music).
She didn’t have her pills (Antipsychotics) and her thoughts told her to bike into traffic (Lyrics: "keep repeating self-hating phrases almost like I have no choice.”) she bikes into traffic and causes an accident where other people get hurt (as well as herself) in the afterlife she is brought back by the paramedics( the man who pulls her down before letting her ascent into heaven and the women flashes the mirror in her face as if it’s flashlight) upon awakening she repeatedly apologizes for what happened and reveals that she did not have her pills to keep the thoughts away based on her post on Instagram this represents a lived reality of battling thoughts to tell you the harm yourself. Evidently, there is a lot of biblical imagery going on as well including reference to two Armenian films, but the crux of the narrative is that of attempt suicide.
Once you kinda get it, you must re watch it! 'cause you'll understand everything! (for e.g. the reflection of the mirror when she is flying (dying) is the light which is coming from the lantern of the nurse when she's pointing at her eye)
Amazing video! It was inspired by the Armenian art film “the color of pomegranates” by Sergei Paradjanov from 1969. The movie is unusual and filled with a lot of pictures that representing the Armenian culture. Also, the scene of her flying tied with a rope is from the 1963 movie “8 1/2” by Federico Fellini, an Italian art film. All the symbols that you’ve seen are true. The thing is that everything that was happening in her mind was her making it look beautiful. If you’ll watch the cideo again you would see that she was literally creating the whole accident scene through her mind but in a more beautiful way. If that’s the water hose, paramedics, the nurse, and even the painting of the accident painted on the wall. It’s wonderful! I love it so much! Also, great reaction video, you guys! I really am a big fan of your channel! Putting my Paws Up for you from Israel! ❤️
Gaga said she is on pain medication for her hip, so that is why it is called 911. She was addicted to the meds at one point. But now she does not take them because she gets addicted to them. So when her hip gets in pain from dancing or she does something to the muscle or something else, she has to get it massaged and different ways to make the pain go away
this is really painful to watch. GaGa is serving us not just visuals, not just choreography and style... he is serving us metaphor, story, and so much more!
She was the one the bicycle! Because the first scene shows her with the bent bicycle in the desert. She passed out and imagined the desert scenes from what she had seen before passing out. It could be about her mental health but the literal interpretation is the accident, she was a victim.
LYRICS:☺ Turning up emotional faders Keep repeating self-hating phrases I have heard enough of these voices Almost like I have no choice This is biological stasis My mood's shifting to manic places Wish I loved, and kept the good friendships Watch life, here I go again I can't see me cry Can't see me cry, ever again (ooh) I can't see me cry Can't see me cry this is the end (ooh) My biggest enemy is me Pop a 911 My biggest enemy is me Pop a 911 My biggest enemy is me Ever since day one Pop a 911 Then pop another one Keep my dolls inside diamond boxes Save them till I know I'm gon' drop this Front I've built around me, oasis Paradise is in my hand Holding on so tight to this status It's not real but I'll try to grab it Keep myself in beautiful places Paradise is in my hands I can't see me cry Can't see me cry ever again (ooh) I can't see me cry Can't see me cry this is the end (ooh) My biggest enemy is me Pop a 911 My biggest enemy is me Pop a 911 My biggest enemy is me Ever since day one Pop a 911 Then pop another one (Pop another one) Pop a 911 Then pop another one I can't see me cry Can't see me cry ever again (ooh) I can't see me cry Can't see me cry this is the end (ooh) My biggest enemy is me Pop a 911 My biggest enemy is me Pop a 911 My biggest enemy is me Ever since day one Pop a 911 Then pop another one Please patch the line Please patch the line Need a 911, can you patch the line Please patch the line Please patch the line Need a 911, can you patch the line
I feel like the core of the video shows how trauma affects the brain. Your brain can do some crazy shit when traumatized (especially when prescription medication is involved) She’s so BRILLIANT!!
As a cinephile and a cinema student, I'll help you guys with something: the music videos are referencing two things in arthouse cinema: (1) the films of Sergey Parajanov, the great Armenian director (you could see two posters of his films at the minute 4.08 of the music video), "The Color of Pomegranates" (hence the pomegranates at the beginning of the video) and "Ashik Kerib", and (2) "El topo", a Mexican film directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky (see the reference at the minute 4.11 of the music video), it's a surrealistic film about a gunfighter embarking on a quest on a horse (hence the man on a horse at the beginning). Most of the imageries of the video are taken from those two references.
ART IS GAGA ❤️ SHE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND GOT INTO A STATE OF MIND OF DEATH.. SHES GOING TO HEAVEN BUT STILL SOMEONE IS BRING HER BACK.. it’s like the vision you see when you see the light 🎥
Little Fun Fact since you guys are doing Lady Gaga's video and also took a journey in Madonna's videos: Both Madonna's Bedtime Story in 1995 and Lady Gaga's 911 take inspiration in the same 1969 Armenian movie "The Colour of Pomegranates".
so, she is talking about her psychotic break, whenever she had that, she had to take a medication. that medication puts your body numb, and all you can really do is scream and you can’t move. she’s explaining how mental health is critical.
i think gaga is way more than most people think she is.... call me crazy but i think she is aware of more dimensions, more versions of reality... of so much more than we think we are as a person... combined with other things she does and things she has talked about in so many interviews i think she wants to tell us so much more than people realise... talking about not being a celebrity but this world viewing her as one... about not being seen as the person hat she really is... people (and especially celebrities) showing a fake happy life... i mean what do you think it means seeing her in a traumatic situation with a sign saying ''LG LIFE'S GOOD'' ? besides the brand, LG also stands for ''lady gaga'' i didnt know what ''patch the line'' meant but i just saw it means connecting two lines and what do we see towards the end... two versions of reality being connected... her dying and then being shoved into another reality in which she's wakes up from being dead for a second and being helpless, now being in a reality where not really being seen as who she really is and in which ''LG'' says that life is good (as she talked about being expected to do as a celebrity)
The dream does explain her version of what happened, she remembers herself on the bicycle & getting into the accident that why her ankle is hurt and the guy who banged his head is most likely the one who caused the accident and death of the guy wrapped for burial cuz he's trying to repent slash reliving the accident, the people in blue are pedestrians the cop and doctor are helping her as you see her looking for vitals and him resisting her and even bring her back from dying as her soul floated away, and the masked men and horsemen are the cops directing traffic and the murial was her only part of her aware of the situation but still lost in the trama her mind wasn't sure, and some part of her seems like she felt responsible possible being the one who might have caused it by falling or not seeing the car they probably tried to avoid her and had caused the collision or just simply she had survivors remorse
a lot of people (little monster wannabe) are literally confused to this music video. only a very select few got the message crystal clear and got the references of the MV.
I believe the whole visual is inspired by a movie called the colour of pomegranates. I haven't watched it yet but the visuals are obviously similar. you guys could check it out❤️
That was the afterimage of death. She was probably going to paradise. Hence the beautiful visuals despite her almost tragic death. The peacock is a sacred creature in Hindu/Indian culture that represents resurrection.
What is your Favorite part of the video?? 👀
The end, the mind trip of it all! Loved the twist and how it all made sense in the end!
Everything. But I was blown by the ending!!!!
the ending because i thought it was so weird at the beginning but i realized how much it made sense in the end lol
🏳️🌈😍My reaction
th-cam.com/video/_OKz_SBCcJc/w-d-xo.html
The realization it was a dream
Them: “apples”
The pomegranates: 👁👄👁
OMG💀
I swear 😭
Pomegranates also symbolize Persephone, who is the wife of Hades and therefore, the goddess of the underworld. It might as well mean that she perceived it as being in hell.
1xtrarice [Chukas Roman] the whole video was inspired by an old armenian movie called the colour of pomegranates
Adrian Neagoe truth ^^^^^ they even have the movie playing at the cinema 😂
Gaga floating to heaven and the paramedic bringing her back to ground/saving her life. Gaga your mind.
👸🏼👸🏼
YAAAASSS omggg it's true
That makes sense
Did you notice that at the point where he's tethering her back to life (with the rope) when she hits the ground it cuts to real life (blink and you miss it)
Please Take a Look

I love this movie. Sophiko Chiaureli plays in this movie. She is Georgian and I'm Georgian too and I'm so exited
The creative director in middle eastern I believe
I literally looked for Armenian culture. I love it!

Did you know LG was named after Lady Gaga?😭
THIS COMENT 😭
GIRL I-

Invented LG and ART
Gaga new slogan is: Life is Good
I actually started tearing up hearing Gaga screaming and crying.

I totally understand where this is coming from, 911 is one of my favorite songs on this album. Gaga and her team created a beautiful representation of her mind.
“They’re called hieroglyphics”
No...no girl they aren’t xD
that was so funny. i was dying
and gaga was a “bicycle-er”, definitely not a cyclist
hahaha She left the cinema, after seeing the movie with the desert references. She was on the bike, If you notice she has a red bracelet on her foot all the time, referring to the accident, the one with the horse, the "Zorro" is death, and she follows him blindly until the doctors arrive and they start to save her.

911 is slang for anti-psychotic medication so "Pop a 911" means that she needs to take her medicines.
@@rasul01 yes!!! it works in both ways I love herrrrrrr
Omg thanks for that

Watching the reactions to this 911 video never gets old! 🖤🖤🖤

She sings, she dances, she acts, but, most important of all, SHE SLAYS!
Love Gaga’s interpretation of her 911 video and the car accident along with her past explanation and mental health struggle and what the song represents in that.From the guy constantly hitting his head which I’ve seen in rotations in the ED to the people singing her song representing the different voices in her head when she needs to pop a pill to calm those voices.
Its the beginning of Sine From Above starting at the end of 911 for me. Are we getting a Paparazzi/Telephone moment?
Maybe Perfect Illusion to Million Reasons😂
The papess shining the mirror on her face while she was floating away to heaven and the warrior guy tying her down by the leg to keep her on earth THEY WERE EMTs the ending shook me to the core that was genius oh my god
lady gaga is such an intellectual, the mv has such a deept meaning and the visuals are on point, i need this kind of contents
It’s a video showing mental health and all the people in the accident are all part of the video. She was seeing everything around her different because she didn’t have her pills.
"they're called hieroglyphics"
...they're pictures i-

35) LG Advertisement - 'Life is good.' Ironic, isn't it?
The rich guy without any wounds or a single scratch on his car was attended to the fullest while the other lady with maybe a dead person on her lap was left unattended. I think GaGa is interpreting injustice depending your status in life
Little monsters watching this are so frustrated that these two didn't understand the video immediately after it ended
i really do feel frustrated to be honest. it's painful to watch.
“the bicycler” it’s bicyclist sisters 😂💓
cyclist luv
Either way they dumb
A part of the vid that nobody sees is right after she is pulled down from floating, it flashes for a second to her on the stretcher in reality, because they tried to revive her then she went back into the visions
the video is inspired by a sovietic movie "color of pomegranates" by Sergei Parajanov. One of the best films in history
Could you tell me what the movie is about? I saw something about it on twitter but didn't understand it
I saw the vid yesterday and watched it a bazillion times and i was just like: "i HAVE to see at least 1 gay guy react to this."😂😂😂
Jokes aside though, this is perfection. Your reaction is perfection as well. With love from South Africa🇿🇦
The beaded blue look is by Diego Montaya. He created the most iconic drag race looks. He did juju and blair finals look for AS5
In interviews, she revealed that the song is about her taking an antipsychotic drug. “911” thus represents the pill functioning as an emergency reset for her.
I didn’t realize this until I rewatched the video for the 10th time.... I was critical, to my friends of the LG promo at the end but... LG is also the initial of lady Gaga and rumored title of this last album LG 6. Also the irony that the LG’s motto is “Life is Good” when there’s nothing but chaos going on.
Full interpretation of the music video by order of appearance:
1) Black Horseman in a White Desert - This signifies the poster for New Mexico Gaga saw before the accident. He may also signify Death or her body luring her deeper in her mind.
2) The Red Mask - This is the blood from the accident.
3) Bike with Pomegranates - The first real element in Gaga's vision. Most probably the victim of the collision. Pomegranates simultaneously signify life and death.
4) The Red Anklet - Gaga's broken foot in real life.
5) Walking to the White Chapel - This is the movie poster Gaga saw. This can also signify the deepest recesses of her mind, protecting her from trauma.
6) Pillow Man - Another victim of the accident who crashed on his steering wheel.
7) Black Girl in Blue - The first spectator to the accident. Most likely the one who called 911.
8) Two Yellow Men Holding a Door - These are two firemen holding the car door to get Gaga out of the mangled vehicle.
9) Woman Holding a White Body - A woman holding a victim who got hit by the car.
10) Additional Three People in Blue - Additional spectators filming the whole thing.
11) Yellow Man Mixing a Cauldron - ???
12) The Latin in Guy in Black and the Black Mary in White - These are the paramedics trying to save Gaga's life.
13) The Spinning Umbrella - The paramedics descending via a helicopter.
14) The Purse with the Picture of the Doll - This signifies the pills that would have made her stable. Did she cause the accident?
15) The Latin Guy Strangling the White Mummy - The paramedic was checking for a pulse.
16) The Black Mary Covering the Pillow Man with a Sheet - This was the paramedic covering the victim with a thermal blanket.
17) A Man with Dog Ears whose Face is Being Covered by the Latin Man - The paramedic giving oxygen to one of the victims.
18) The Black Mary Flashing a Mirror on Gaga - The paramedic was flashing her flashlight on Gaga's pupil's looking for consciousness. Gaga in the dreamscape is her consciousness.
19) Gaga Floating Away with a Rose - This signifies Gaga's consciousness/life leaving her body.
20) The Latin Guy Pulling Her with a Rope - The paramedic gave her CPR. You can even see a brief flash of the real world as she comes crashing down.
21) The Rope - It was the tourniquet used on Gaga's foot.
22) Latin and Gaga Mouth-to-Mouth Action - This was CPR, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
23) Yellow Man on Ladder Sprinkling Rose Petals - This is a fireman repairing the movie sign. The petals were sparks.

LG : Lady Gaga :))
Yay!!! After i saw the video I was waiting for both your reactions.
She'a the bicycler. 5 people got involved the accident. Lady Gaga, a couple, a rich guy, and the other driver. Lady Gaga broke her ankle. The boyfriend of the couple died, the rich guy needed oxygen and the driver got hit on the head.
When the beat kicks in it looks like she's looking through the car window and the guys in yellow are the firemen trying to cut her out of the car. Yet she's clearly the cyclist, so that's a bit confusing to me.
Thanks for the detail, officer 😘❤
@@acolyte10mg I guess the car ran over her??? Or maybe she got stuck in the car window somehow.
Yaaas. Always looking forward to your Gaga reaction 💕Love you two.
The “bicycler” lmao love y’all . This was was such a good gaga video!
This is definitely giving me Wizard of OZ vibes.. Is it just me, orrr. love you guys.
You two always have me laughing in this shitty and sad quarantine. 💝 Thanks to
you both. 😁😁
MIND. BLOWING.
"Hey whats up you bi-" *skips 40 seconds* to avoid the cringe
You mean skip most of it, cuz this whole reaction is so cringe, trying too hard
Agreed. Maybe they’d understand it more if they stfu hahaha.
Loved this reaction 💓⚔️⚔️ The music video was soo iconic
She is getting another VMA in 2021. Mark my words !
Ok but I stan that Glory album cover behind you ❤️❤️
I thought Rain on Me was my video of the year, but 911 just topped it, I mean it’s freaking masterpiece
Well she is the reason of the accident, thats why she said sorry and she is so concerned if anyone died, she didn't take her medicine and end up hearing some voices (lyrics: I have heard enough of this voices) telling her to commit suicide and crashing into traffic is her suicide way(lyrics: almost like i have no choice), lyrics say alot in a situation, she has this mental health cobdition. And her music video, those are the thing she will probably see because those are the last thing she saw before she collapse. Like dreaming, we experience dream because of the thing we do before we go to sleep,
This video is about her mental health. The entire film is a conceptual piece about how the all the drugs she was taking made her in a way “crazy”. So the video is pretty much her in her own mental world picturing what it is actually happening (the accident), but through beauty (her music).
She didn’t have her pills (Antipsychotics) and her thoughts told her to bike into traffic (Lyrics: "keep repeating self-hating phrases almost like I have no choice.”) she bikes into traffic and causes an accident where other people get hurt (as well as herself) in the afterlife she is brought back by the paramedics( the man who pulls her down before letting her ascent into heaven and the women flashes the mirror in her face as if it’s flashlight) upon awakening she repeatedly apologizes for what happened and reveals that she did not have her pills to keep the thoughts away based on her post on Instagram this represents a lived reality of battling thoughts to tell you the harm yourself. Evidently, there is a lot of biblical imagery going on as well including reference to two Armenian films, but the crux of the narrative is that of attempt suicide.
You should watch the alternative version they changed the ending and its very emotional you can find it on TH-cam
this mv is so intelligent and is soooo iconic
I started sobbing at the end. Holy crap.
I'm waiting for thisss, love u guys 🇧🇷
Lady Gaga open her eyes and the gays are literally gagging, a true legendary icon
The way you guys shouldn't be able to react after skipping the interludes on Chromatica....
I love how all the video you guys are living and then at the end part you get in serious mood 😂
YOU'RE SO STUD !!!!!!
Once you kinda get it, you must re watch it! 'cause you'll understand everything! (for e.g. the reflection of the mirror when she is flying (dying) is the light which is coming from the lantern of the nurse when she's pointing at her eye)
Amazing video! It was inspired by the Armenian art film “the color of pomegranates” by Sergei Paradjanov from 1969. The movie is unusual and filled with a lot of pictures that representing the Armenian culture. Also, the scene of her flying tied with a rope is from the 1963 movie “8 1/2” by Federico Fellini, an Italian art film. All the symbols that you’ve seen are true. The thing is that everything that was happening in her mind was her making it look beautiful. If you’ll watch the cideo again you would see that she was literally creating the whole accident scene through her mind but in a more beautiful way. If that’s the water hose, paramedics, the nurse, and even the painting of the accident painted on the wall. It’s wonderful! I love it so much! Also, great reaction video, you guys! I really am a big fan of your channel! Putting my Paws Up for you from Israel! ❤️
I’m not gonna lie this is one of my least fav songs on the album but I loved the meaning behind this video 👏🏽 let’s hope she does Babylon ❤️
Same. It's low key my least favorite song from Chromatica, but the very best video of the era
this video literally gave me the OA vibes, especially the end of the second season. it was epic.
Gaga said she is on pain medication for her hip, so that is why it is called 911. She was addicted to the meds at one point. But now she does not take them because she gets addicted to them. So when her hip gets in pain from dancing or she does something to the muscle or something else, she has to get it massaged and different ways to make the pain go away
Love your reaction! So funny : )
I love this so much, mother monster is perfect
I was waiting for your reaction guys. Love u so much, you really represent all my feelings watching 911 video. Haha, Saludos 💕🇲🇽
Love you guys!
I love her to pieces.
"That's the banging head guy" 😭😭😭😭😭
When she said i cant feel my legs i remember her when she broke her hip
I have a theory that the next big hit for Gaga would be Sine From Above because the music was teased in the end.
Agreed!!!!!
I hope it has part 2, it has a lot of theories. I'm waiting
Lady Gaga delivered!!
this is really painful to watch. GaGa is serving us not just visuals, not just choreography and style... he is serving us metaphor, story, and so much more!
She was the one the bicycle! Because the first scene shows her with the bent bicycle in the desert. She passed out and imagined the desert scenes from what she had seen before passing out. It could be about her mental health but the literal interpretation is the accident, she was a victim.
Amazing the song 911 my favorite ❤🗣🇧🇷
I love how ya'll got confuse haha love it!!!
"Hey, what's up you bitches and horses"
Bojack: I feel finally included 😭
Gaga gave us a whole movie in 4 minutes 😍
LYRICS:☺
Turning up emotional faders
Keep repeating self-hating phrases
I have heard enough of these voices
Almost like I have no choice
This is biological stasis
My mood's shifting to manic places
Wish I loved, and kept the good friendships
Watch life, here I go again
I can't see me cry
Can't see me cry, ever again (ooh)
I can't see me cry
Can't see me cry this is the end (ooh)
My biggest enemy is me
Pop a 911
My biggest enemy is me
Pop a 911
My biggest enemy is me
Ever since day one
Pop a 911
Then pop another one
Keep my dolls inside diamond boxes
Save them till I know I'm gon' drop this
Front I've built around me, oasis
Paradise is in my hand
Holding on so tight to this status
It's not real but I'll try to grab it
Keep myself in beautiful places
Paradise is in my hands
I can't see me cry
Can't see me cry ever again (ooh)
I can't see me cry
Can't see me cry this is the end (ooh)
My biggest enemy is me
Pop a 911
My biggest enemy is me
Pop a 911
My biggest enemy is me
Ever since day one
Pop a 911
Then pop another one
(Pop another one)
Pop a 911
Then pop another one
I can't see me cry
Can't see me cry ever again (ooh)
I can't see me cry
Can't see me cry this is the end (ooh)
My biggest enemy is me
Pop a 911
My biggest enemy is me
Pop a 911
My biggest enemy is me
Ever since day one
Pop a 911
Then pop another one
Please patch the line
Please patch the line
Need a 911, can you patch the line
Please patch the line
Please patch the line
Need a 911, can you patch the line
She has a New Mexico flag in this video! I’m from NM And I couldn’t be more proud to be New Mexican! It’s filmed in of our national parks! WHITE SANDS
am I the only one whos watching reaction after reaction of this video because is obsessed with peoples reaction at the plot twist?
I feel like the core of the video shows how trauma affects the brain. Your brain can do some crazy shit when traumatized (especially when prescription medication is involved) She’s so BRILLIANT!!
As a cinephile and a cinema student, I'll help you guys with something: the music videos are referencing two things in arthouse cinema: (1) the films of Sergey Parajanov, the great Armenian director (you could see two posters of his films at the minute 4.08 of the music video), "The Color of Pomegranates" (hence the pomegranates at the beginning of the video) and "Ashik Kerib", and (2) "El topo", a Mexican film directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky (see the reference at the minute 4.11 of the music video), it's a surrealistic film about a gunfighter embarking on a quest on a horse (hence the man on a horse at the beginning). Most of the imageries of the video are taken from those two references.
ART IS GAGA ❤️ SHE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND GOT INTO A STATE OF MIND OF DEATH.. SHES GOING TO HEAVEN BUT STILL SOMEONE IS BRING HER BACK.. it’s like the vision you see when you see the light 🎥
Little Fun Fact since you guys are doing Lady Gaga's video and also took a journey in Madonna's videos: Both Madonna's Bedtime Story in 1995 and Lady Gaga's 911 take inspiration in the same 1969 Armenian movie "The Colour of Pomegranates".
so, she is talking about her psychotic break, whenever she had that, she had to take a medication. that medication puts your body numb, and all you can really do is scream and you can’t move. she’s explaining how mental health is critical.
GURLS! She literally woke up in the desert WITH the bike next to her. SHE WAS ON THE BIKE.
-Oh look at that alien!!!!
-oooh she is the alienn!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
It has to do with a time when she tried to kill her self, was given a second chance at life, and now is thankful to be alive. She saved herself.
I love the "and all her apples are everywhere"
i think gaga is way more than most people think she is....
call me crazy but i think she is aware of more dimensions, more versions of reality... of so much more than we think we are as a person...
combined with other things she does and things she has talked about in so many interviews i think she wants to tell us so much more than people realise...
talking about not being a celebrity but this world viewing her as one... about not being seen as the person hat she really is... people (and especially celebrities) showing a fake happy life...
i mean what do you think it means seeing her in a traumatic situation with a sign saying ''LG LIFE'S GOOD'' ?
besides the brand, LG also stands for ''lady gaga''
i didnt know what ''patch the line'' meant but i just saw it means connecting two lines and what do we see towards the end... two versions of reality being connected... her dying and then being shoved into another reality in which she's wakes up from being dead for a second and being helpless, now being in a reality where not really being seen as who she really is and in which ''LG'' says that life is good (as she talked about being expected to do as a celebrity)
Watching it a 2nd time makes more sense!
The dream does explain her version of what happened, she remembers herself on the bicycle & getting into the accident that why her ankle is hurt and the guy who banged his head is most likely the one who caused the accident and death of the guy wrapped for burial cuz he's trying to repent slash reliving the accident, the people in blue are pedestrians the cop and doctor are helping her as you see her looking for vitals and him resisting her and even bring her back from dying as her soul floated away, and the masked men and horsemen are the cops directing traffic and the murial was her only part of her aware of the situation but still lost in the trama her mind wasn't sure, and some part of her seems like she felt responsible possible being the one who might have caused it by falling or not seeing the car they probably tried to avoid her and had caused the collision or just simply she had survivors remorse
a lot of people (little monster wannabe) are literally confused to this music video. only a very select few got the message crystal clear and got the references of the MV.
I will never say pelicula the same again. I can't help but to stan.
I love that react 🥰
I believe the whole visual is inspired by a movie called the colour of pomegranates. I haven't watched it yet but the visuals are obviously similar. you guys could check it out❤️
My fave part was the wicked witch of the desert (😂)AND the visuals in that blue garment my gahhh
The Pomegranates: Did you just assume my Blender?
Am still doing what the guy with the pillow did right now 😳😳
That was the afterimage of death. She was probably going to paradise. Hence the beautiful visuals despite her almost tragic death. The peacock is a sacred creature in Hindu/Indian culture that represents resurrection.
this is amazing.
You need to calm down.. 🤣
guys - the song is about her issue with self-medicating - she was high on pain pills and caused the accident
