Dance In The Dark
Lady Gaga猀 Lyrics

Silicone, saline, poison inject me
I'm willing to alter myself heavily with plastic surgery, even at the risk of harm

Baby, I'm a free bitch, I'm a free bitch
I'm independent and in control of my own life and choices

Some girls won't dance to the beat of the track
Not everyone conforms to society's expectations or norms for behavior and expression

She won't walk away but she won't look back
Even if someone faces criticism or judgment, they won't abandon their path or identity

She looks good but her boyfriend says she's a mess
External appearances may not reflect someone's internal struggles or pain

Now the girl is stressed
This scrutiny and pressure can cause significant emotional distress

Baby loves to dance in the dark
To escape and find happiness, some turn to dancing in isolation or darkness

'Cause when he's lookin' she falls apart
The fear of judgment or disapproval from another person is overwhelming, leading to emotional breakdowns

Run, run her kiss is a vampire grin
A warning or threat against a seductive and possibly harmful person

She looks good but her boyfriend says she's a tramp
Unfair labels and insults can be placed on someone, regardless of their actual behavior

But she still does her dance
The resilience and perseverance to continue being oneself, even in the face of adversity

Tell 'em, girls
Empowering one another to stand up against discrimination and negativity

Marilyn, Judy, Sylvia
Honoring and referencing iconic women who faced similar struggles and criticisms

Work your blond (Jean) Benet Ramsey
A reference to the tragic murder of a young blonde girl, and the exploitation and sensationalism that surrounded it

We'll haunt like Liberace
A promise to leave a lasting impact and memory, despite those who try to discredit or dismiss it

Find your freedom in the music
Music can provide a sense of liberation and expression for those who are marginalized or constrained

Find your Jesus, find your Kubrick
Seeking guidance or inspiration from sources that may be unconventional or controversial

You will never fall apart
A message of reassurance and hope, that others can overcome their struggles and challenges

Diana, you're still in our hearts
Paying tribute to a beloved and admired public figure who faced tragedy and adversity

Together we'll dance in the dark
Finding connection and community through shared experiences and struggles
