Alejandro
Lady Gaga Lyrics
I know that we are young
And I know that you may love me
But I just can't be with you like this anymore
Alejandro
She's got both hands
In her pocket
And she won't look at you
Won't look at you
She hides true love
She got a halo around her finger
Around you
You know that I love you boy
Hot like Mexico, rejoice
At this point I gotta choose
Nothing to lose
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Alejandro
I'm not your babe
I'm not your babe, Fernando
Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Roberto
Alejandro

Stop, please
Just let me go Alejandro
Just let me go
She's not broken
She's just a baby
But her boyfriend's like a dad, just like a dad
And all those flames that burned before him
Now he's gonna fire fight, gotta cool the bad
You know that I love you boy
Hot like Mexico, rejoice
At this point I've gotta choose
Nothing to lose
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Alejandro
I'm not your babe
I'm not your babe, Fernando
Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Roberto

Explanation
The clip begins with the march of an army that carries between various objects a 'hexagram' (6-pointed star, or a triangle over another; the symbol has several associations, the one in the clip is in relation to the union of male and female, the male is the triangle with the tip up and the female down).
After GaGa appears with a pair of binoculars observing the army's training, the image is that she is the commander of the army, something that cannot be done in the world we live in and which is a criticism of our macho society, as for For women who don't submit to men, I let Lady Gaga explain in her own words that they were spoken via twitter: “Some women choose to follow men, and others choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which direction to take, remember that your career will never wake up in the morning and say it doesn't love you anymore. ”
The next scene shows GaGa, Alejandro, Fernando and Roberto in an isolated area, where GaGa demonstrates complete control over the three of them - and it's no surprise that once again she wants to show that women are not submissive to men.
Alejandro, Fernando and Roberto are homosexuals. As promised, Alejandro (the clip) had the function of demonstrating the singer's love for gay society. Note the high heels the trio wear. And from the hot scenes, it doesn't seem like GaGa is just interested in mistreating them, no.
The next step is to deduce that GaGa fell in love with a homosexual: Alejandro. This justifies the abuse, ties, submission and almost obligation of the trio to have sex with her. The beds would be seminarians' rooms inside the Catholic church. Where there are facts of homosexuality and sexual abuse since its foundation. And as GaGa herself said, in Alejandro she would fall in love with a homosexual for not having found true love in a straight man, but that she would be rejected by the homosexual.
When rejected, she becomes a nun. Because now she will no longer be bitter and suffer because of sex, because of celibacy (sexual abstinence).
It then shows the army cheering for the nun (Lady Gaga). This shows the bond that the Church and the army have. For the Church supported armies many times and was helped by them.
Then comes one of the scenes in the clip where she swallows a cross. Here are the illuminating words of Klein, the video's director: "The religious symbolism is not intended to denote something negative, but to represent the character's battle between the forces of darkness in this world and the spiritual salvation of the Soul." And in the part where she swallows the cross, he says it's "the desire to be led to the Holy Spirit." So this scene represents Gaga trying to bring peace to herself, killing the monsters that exist inside her (in the past, swallowing the cross was exorcising people who had demons inside her) many still say that she shows the silence of the Church, because everything revolves around there of secrets.
Here comes the part of the video that is in black and white. She starts dancing with very Mexican moves, and then shows the celebration of gay love, where they dance, parade as if they were on a catwalk.
The next scene is Lady Gaga in her machine gun bra along with her group of gay friends. While she does the little dance, the guns kind of go off. This entire movement refers to the violence suffered by homosexuals, because of a prejudiced society. Or even more a criticism of the Church, which uses violence to cover up the truth and stifle the teachings of other cultures, another fact is that many authors, painters, sculptors - artists - often hesitate to reveal something or demonstrate because of the rigidity of the church
Lady Gaga used an understood version of the song where she keeps talking to Alejandro incessantly, as if she's bitter and screaming for him to come back. And in this she sings and behind her there is a cross, either to strengthen the Church or to show her suffering. Meanwhile, there are also quick scenes of attacking a city, which can be a reference to the holocaust or any other barrage movement. a religion or group of people.
Even as a nun, she gives up adhering to celibacy and throws herself in front of the army guards.
This shows that Church rules are easily corrupted, criticizes the sex scandals that have recently taken place within the Vatican.
Finally, back to the beginning of the clip. GaGa carries in her hands a heart covered with thorns, which more subjectively can come to represent a suffering and wounded heart.
Ah, what I didn't comment on was GaGa's hairstyle, she's not at all feminine, this is to represent the overlapping of genders, (reference to Joan of Arc). And the climate is all cold, full of snow, obscure, because it has to be a favorable environment for promiscuity. And the strings that are on her, dressed as a nun and a military man, represent how everything is manipulated in the world of the Vatican and the army as if they were puppets.
Ahhhhh, and in the end she explodes because she chose to be a nun, and the reason her mouth and eyes disappear is because she is withdrawing her senses from the world of sin and moving towards prayer and contemplation. ”

So y’all are really trying to tell me that she is not the artist of the decade?
Gub Romanato

MFS 2020
She doesn’t need that stupid award, she IS the artist of the decade
Azul Swift
@Anze Kopitar EXACTLY! i saw many people say taylor never reinvented herself but she does it every time she puts an album out. if you say she’s bland or isn’t innovative then you must live under a rock
Anze Kopitar
@Azul Swift The songs Breathe, Should've said no, Change... They're all unique songs..I've never heard anything similar in the emotion she projects with those songs... people really are deaf and they come with pre-made judgements and don't even listen to 10% of an artist and judge them from the get-go
TheFourthWinchester
She's an icon. Not a gay icon, not a bisexual icon, not a straight icon. She's THE Icon for everyone. I loved this song and most of her songs even as a straight guy. She is utterly brilliant.

I couldn't agree more with this comment :)
