![]() The music was still pulsing, infernally catchy dance-pop, but the imagery reflected something grander and more ambitious. If Gaga seemed slightly eccentric in the “Just Dance” video, the “Poker Face” clip revealed her to be some kind of sci-fi demon. The opening shots of the “Poker Face” video were disorienting for any music snobs who heard “ Just Dance” and wrote Lady Gaga off as an assembly line club-pop singer. She’s a dance-music wraith from another dimension, and the world is not ready for her. Gaga looks like Gozer appearing on the rooftop at the end of Ghostbusters, if Gozer was ready to party. ![]() In front of her, two Great Danes sit at attention, like Egyptian statues. There’s a spiky black-metallic shoulderpad on her vinyl bodysuit. Gaga’s face is covered by a mask made from crushed-up disco balls. Lightning crackles through the clouds as Lady Gaga rises, in slow motion, from a swimming pool. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.In The Number Ones, I’m reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart’s beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. “Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. I am not sure, just my interpretation :D Great song anyway you look at it! Part is showing she doesn't care about him in fact at all just getting back at him, she is willing to live her life while trying to get at him. ![]() And then the "Real good, we dance in the studio (the music video again) For instance: "but I won't stop" sounds a bit darker the rest. Or, for a crazy interpretation, the whole song is sarcastic and she just wants to get back at him. And she needs more fame then ever to settle herself, and it's driving her insane, (the whole stalker sound part of it) and then people die over it (in the music video for instance) So I am guessing the message is about how ame kills people. Like in the music video, it shows all these women killed by their spouses/boy friends. Well, watching the music video I think it may be talking about abuse, and how "she" will always love the "abuser" no matter what, even though he trys to kill her for fame. Purple teardrops I cry, it don't have a price Yeah 'cause you're my rock star in between the sets
