I think it would do well in explaining how when Lady Gaga, appearing as a completely separate personality, is gone Stefani will always be there. While Lady posses the ability to escape criticism, Stefani will always be there. She can’t hide. She would have no choice to endure the bullets for Gaga’s actions, giving listeners a glimpse into the psyche of both personas. Some resentment could be assumed with her sarcastically referring to Gaga as “Jesus” or “The King”, showing herself to be somewhat bothered that Gaga has become the more favorable and dominate of the two, and the distortion of her voice for the line “I’ll tell them my religion is you” could imply sarcasm or Stefani actually mocking some Lady Gaga fans. Even though she posses this resentment, she considers allowing Gaga to exist an act of unselfishness because of how badly the world longs for the change she is capable of. The monks create the perfect imagery of how haunting the Gaga shtick can be when chanting “Gaga” over and over again in the song’s background, turning the cheerful chants from Gaga’s fans into demonic, distorted, tormenting demands. Perhaps the “da da da da” in the breakdown could be seen as Stefani trying to simply drown them out. This also goes along with the lines sung in French. The lines “I don’t want to die alone” and “love and freedom” could indicate although she does somewhat love Gaga’s purpose she also longs for freedom from her, leaving her torn between the two. At it’s best, it gives you an inside look at the ordinary girl trapped inside a superstar.
