Recently, "Born This Way" producer Fernando Garibay called Lady Gaga's next single off her upcoming album of the same name, "Judas," "great because it's a serious message [and] it's a little playful." Well, judging by the reported lyrics that hit the Internet, the RedOne-produced track is Gaga spilling her heart out with just enough dark humor in it to keep her Little Monsters playing it over and over again.
"Dear Judas/ My beloved you belong to me/ No more backstabbing please/ Your blood colored beads/ Jealousy, envy, insanity," the opening lyrics proclaim, playing on the biblical tale of Judas — the apostle of Jesus who infamously later betrayed him — while possibly referring to a romance gone bad.
On the chorus, Gaga allegedly sings, "When he comes to me, I am ready/ I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs/ Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain/ Even after three times he betrays me/ I'll bring him down, a king with no crown/ Judas, look what have you done/ My heart bleeds and you think it's fun?"
The second verse continues to play with the ideas of love and the mythology of Judas. "Second verse, same as the first/ Your bible won't save you now/ From the glares of the everlasting light, remember those hot nights where you lied and lied on my bed/ Stabbed me in the back," Gaga supposedly sings. "Let my blood trickle on your rose thorns/ But he came and whispered in my ear and left me torn/ 'Cause I'm just a holy fool/ Oh baby, he's so cruel, but I'm still in love with Judas, baby."
Gaga will direct the video for "Judas" with her creative director, Laurieann Gibson, who has made it clear that the clip will certainly be over-the-top.
"And 'Judas' is exciting for me because we had this amazing artistic approach to 'Born This Way' and I'm so excited for how riveting, energetic and electric the record is, something really phenomenal," Gibson recently told MTV News. "So, visually, the dance, the costuming, the idea of how big we're trying to go, [it's] going to be a roller-coaster ride.
"What is a traditional music video?" she added. "Even if we go with a traditional music video, the directors that we love are not traditional, so the idea that they get to collaborate with us means they too want to live outside of what people expect a traditional music video to be."
