Lady Gaga leaves the dark days behind. Her song "911" and the accompanying music video represent a new beginning for her.
The new music video by Lady Gaga (34) for her song "911" is full of colorful, entertaining pictures, but contains a serious message. It takes place in the desert, at first the blindfolded artist seems to be without orientation. She sees a rider and follows him into a courtyard. There you will find various people whose actions seem confusing at first glance. The singer becomes part of the hustle and bustle before the clip takes an unexpected turn.
Lady Gaga wakes up on a stretcher as a patient, her make-up blurry, her forehead bloody. Paramedics take care of them, the scenario of a traffic accident can be seen in the background. "Will I die?" Asks the 34-year-old through tears. She does not receive an answer.
"True story that is now the past"
With the clip, which is about four minutes long, the artist is sharing something "very personal", as she explained on Instagram on Friday (September 18). It's about her story, "my experience with mental health and the way reality and dreams combine". The pictures speak for themselves.
In a recently published "Billboard" interview, Lady Gaga spoke about her past, which was apparently marked by hours of chain smoking, crying and drinking. "I used to wake up every day and remember that I was Lady Gaga – and then I got depressed," she said. The artist suffered from depression. "My existence in and of itself was a threat to me."
Now she is "awake", as she tells her fans on Instagram. "I can see you, I can feel you and I thank you for believing in me when I was very scared." Her previous everyday life is now a film, "a true story that is now the past and not the present".
