Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lady Gaga's Love Game revolve around the theme of flirting and sexual attraction while playing poker. The opening line "Mum mum mum mah" serves as an intro to the song, and it is not meant to have any specific meaning. Gaga then talks about wanting to hold her partner like they do in Texas Plays, which refers to a popular method of playing poker in Texas where the player holds two cards and bets on them. She then sings about how she is going to play her cards right, starting with Spades, and how she will play the one that's on her partner's heart once he's hooked. The chorus repeats the line "Can't read my poker face," which means that her partner cannot predict her next move, and she will not let him see through her strategies. A lot of metaphors are used throughout the song, such as "Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun," which suggests that flirting is a game that involves taking risks.

It is time to repent!
It is time to BORN AGAIN!
It is time to reject all sins!
it is time to pick up your cross and follow the one who redeems your soul.
This world serves BAAL, why you want to do the same?
Are your eyes still blind, that you see not, all the idols of yours are showing off freemasonry hand signs?, neither do you see the clear signs of being inverted? Publicly known as being trans. All the idols of yours, you hear them as a deaf or actually taking a listen?
GOD – the creator exist and god of this world exist also.
One redeems, the other deceives. Between these 2 a choosing is to make, WHOM SHALL WE SERVE?
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.


To the lgbtq++++:
the lgbtq++ club/cult became to be, because of the masons depopulation agendas. search about them. Judge based on knowledge not based on feelings. feelings lie, humans understandings are false. opinions useless. TRUTH alone is what always stays mattering.
