Overall Meaning

The song "Scheiße" by Lady Gaga is an ode to female empowerment and revolution. The German lyrics in the verses don't have a clear translation, but Lady Gaga has said that she intended for the words to evoke a sense of power and freedom. She sings about taking control of one's own body and desires, rejecting the limitations imposed by society and men. The chorus "Scheiße, Scheiße be mine" can be interpreted as a rallying cry for owning one's own strength and beauty, despite societal expectations.


The bridge of the song continues this theme of female empowerment, with Lady Gaga singing about rebuking her own limitations and not needing permission to be a strong woman. She also references her desire to dance and express herself without needing someone else's support or affirmation. The song ends with a repetition of the German verses, emphasizing the idea that women can speak their own truths and find their own power.

For everyone complaining about the bad german- she doesn't speak German but can if you'd like.

@mckdemps12

+Tender Absynth Thank you, I was wondering. I heard the French notes but not the Dutch

@Have_ACookie

+Plinfafans DE she never says "scheibe", during the gibberish part, she really does only say gibberish with a french/germanish accent. During the chorus however the "scheiße" (shit) is clearly hearable for me and not bad pronounced too.
