In ‘Replay’ Lady Gaga brings back all her allegories of ‘Monster’. Both from the song ‘Monster’ off of The Fame Monster Deluxe but also from what she has always embodied Monsters as: her fans.
‘He ate my heart’ she laments in the 2009 track, ‘Am I still alive? The monster inside you is torturing me...
[Intro]
Am I, am I, am I
Am I, am I, am I
[Verse 1]
Am I still alive? Where am I? I cry
Who was it that pulled the trigger, was it you or I?
I'm completely numb, why you acting dumb?
I won't blame myself 'cause we both know you were the one
[Chorus]
I don't know what to do, you don't know what to say
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay
The monster inside you is torturing me
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay, eh-eh
[Post-Chorus]
Replay, r-replay, eh-eh
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay, eh-eh
[Verse 2]
Every single day, yeah, I dig a grave
Then I sit inside it, wondering if I'll behave
It's a game I play, and I hate to say
You're the worst thing and the best thing that's happened to me
[Chorus]
I don't know what to do, you don't know what to say
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay
The monster inside you is torturing me
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay, eh-eh
[Post-Chorus]
Replay, r-replay, eh-eh
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay, eh-eh
[Bridge]
Psychologically, it's something that I can't explain
Scratch my nails into the dirt to pull me out okay
Does it matter, does it matter? Damage is done
Does it matter, does it matter? You had the gun
You had the gun
You had the gun
You had the gun
[Chorus]
I don't know what to do, you don't know what to say
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay
The monster inside you is torturing me
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay, eh-eh
[Outro]
Your monsters torture me
Your monsters torture me
Your monsters torture me
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay, eh-eh
Replay was written by Nickolas Ashford & Rami & Valerie Simpson & BloodPop® & BURNS & Lady Gaga & Ashford & Simpson.
Replay was produced by BURNS.
BloodPop revealed the sample via Twitter:
Replay features a sample from Diana Ross’s “It’s My House”
He also confirmed the sample was cleared with respective artists and own a share of the compositions
I’d already begun working on the “Replay” instrumental outside of the Gaga project. Before I played it to Gaga and Blood, it was a sketch I had based around a sample from the Diana Ross record “It’s My House.” When BloodPop heard it, he suggested I rework it to fit a song they had started writing to...
She told Spotify:
I refused to not allow this song to be on the album. Sure, I’m the ‘boss.’ But really, Chromatica cannot exist without an abstract explanation of what it’s like to be triggered if you have PTSD. It’s a replay of all my monsters, not the little ones. And the very thing that has pla...
