"He ate it."
"Yes. I don't believe you."
"Look For Yourself... Pop Ate My Heart."
"I see."
"He downed the whole thing... in one efficient gulp...
like a beautiful monster... then took off into the city."
"Oh, Candy"
"Empty?"
" Noo... No..."
"Candy?"
"Free... I feel free"
I NEED MORE... TO FEED MY POP HEART
GIVE ME MORE
I WANT: THE FUTURE, GAGA, FASHION, TECHNOLOGY, DANCE, NEW YORK, MUSIC, POP CULTURE
I WANT... THE FAME
I CAN HEAR YOU
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
REVOLUTION IS COMING
AND I WANT... WHAT WE WANT
YOU DESERVE... THE FUTURE
MY NAME IS LADY GAGA -
AND THIS IS MY HAUS!!!
The lyrics to "Pop Ate My Heart" from Lady Gaga's album "The Fame Monster" are a conversation between two characters, Candy and an unknown individual, who is possibly Lady Gaga herself. Candy seems to be experiencing some sort of heartbreak, which she attributes to the pop culture phenomenon that consumed her heart, possibly a reference to the emptiness and shallowness that can arise from fame and superficiality prevalent in modern society.
Candy claims that "Pop Ate My Heart," which could be interpreted as her being consumed or overwhelmed by the pressures and expectations of pop culture. The line "I want the fame" suggests a desire for success, while the line "revolution is coming" indicates a desire for change, perhaps a rebellion against the superficiality that defines pop culture.
The final lines by Lady Gaga, declaring "MY NAME IS LADY GAGA - AND THIS IS MY HAUS!!!" could be interpreted as a statement of self-empowerment and her own control over her art and image. In essence, the song can be seen as a commentary on the fleeting nature of fame, its ability to consume and destroy, and the desire for something deeper and more meaningful.

22 years old and very serious about her craft. The iconic wig, the wifebeater and blush, the feather lashes. I've been on a nostalgic Gaga kick lately and this is IT
