Idioms in music

No he can’t read my poker face Poker face: Someone is described as having a poker face if their face is expressionless and without emotion. The term poker face is mostly used when talking about the card game poker; poker players don’t want people to know what they are thinking or feeling, so they force a straight face that hides all clues.

2. Cartomancy readings depend on the suit and value of the card that is revealed. The suit depicts the broader meaning or categorization of the card. Face cards relate to people in your life. Number cards usually relate to events that will occur soon.

Lady Gaga Lyrics: Alejandro

You know that I love you, boy

Hot like Mexico, rejoice

At this point I gotta choose

Nothing to lose

Nothing to lose: Someone is described as having nothing to lose if they are in a bad situation that can’t get any worse, or there is no disadvantage to attempting to achieve something.

Example: “I am going to start my own business. I really hate my current job, so I have nothing to lose.”

Lady Gaga Lyrics: Alienated

Since I become a shooting star

I’ve been wondering where you are

Seems like your forever in a getaway

Momma told me that it would happen to me one day

Shooting star: A shooting star is someone who is rapidly rising to fame.

Example: “The American Idol contestants are shooting stars.”

Lady Gaga Lyrics: Fancy Pants

Let’s take off our fancy pants tonight

(Fancy, fancy, you’re so fancy)

Fancy pants: The term fancy pants is used to describe someone who acts in a manner that is perceived to be pretentious or over elaborate.

Example: “Eric is too much of a fancy pants for me. He is only interested in things that cost a lot of money.”

Lady Gaga Lyrics: Poker Face

Can’t read my, can’t read my

No he can’t read my poker face

Poker face: Someone is described as having a poker face if their face is expressionless and without emotion. The term poker face is mostly used when talking about the card game poker; poker players don’t want people to know what they are thinking or feeling, so they force a straight face that hides all clues. If they are holding a hand of cards and they don’t want the other players to have any idea what type of hand they have, they try to maintain a poker face.

Example: “Steve found it hard to preserve his poker face when he was dealt three kings.”

A little gambling is fun when you’re with me, I love it

Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun

Russian Roulette:Russian Roulette is a very dangerous game where a barrel gun is loaded with just one bullet. Players take turns to aim the gun at their head and pull the trigger. Eventually, one unlucky player will find the bullet and will be killed.

You are said to be playing Russian Roulette if you take unnecessary risks, or put yourself in a dangerous situation.

Example: “The man was sentenced to 5 years in prison for driving under the influence of alcohol. The judge said that he was playing Russian Roulette with other people’s lives.”

Lady Gaga Lyrics: Monster

That boy is bad

And honestly

He’s a wolf in disguise

But I can’t stop staring in those evil eyes

Wolf in disguise: Someone is described as being a wolf in disguise if they pretend to be nice or friendly but are really evil or dangerous.

Example: “The lawyer was a wolf in disguise. His questions were initially friendly, but he lured me into a false sense of security.”

Lady Gaga Lyrics: Red and Blue

Yeah I am red, you are blue

I’m old school and you’re so new

Old school: If someone is considered to be old school they are very traditional in their ways and thinking. It can be a negative term if the person described as being old school is being criticized for living in the past.

Example: “His teaching methods are just so old school. I hate his lessons.”

So starstruck, baby could you blow my heart up?

Example: “I was so starstruck when I met Lady Gaga that I couldn’t speak.”

Lady Gaga Lyrics: Wonderful

Looking for something crazy

beautiful nothing

now I’m talking in circles again

Poker Face Lyrics

   Poker Face is about many things. Lady Gaga has been asked many times the meaning of this song and she has given several different answers.
   First and foremost, it is obvious that lyrically Poker Face is about sex and gambling; or more specifically, sex, with the use of gambling metaphors.
   On at least one occasion she claimed that the song was about 'how she catches guys'... that 'the second you let guys know you like them, they run away, so you've gotta keep your poker face.'
   However, by far the most interesting interpretation, that Lady Gaga claimed herself in an interview, is that the song is essentially about being bi-curious; she says that 'sometimes, when I was making love to my old boyfriend, I would think about women.' The lyrics 'Bluffin' with my muffin' are metaphorical for 'bluffing' with your vagina. 'I won't tell you that I love you, kiss or hug you'... In these two verses, Gaga is basically saying that she is having sex with men but doesn't feel any emotional attachment for them whatsoever, to the point where she doesn't even feel ashamed to be thinking about women while having sex with a man.
   People assume that, purely because of this song, that Lady Gaga is a 'proven bisexual' or some such. While it matters little to me, all this song really proclaims is the act of being bi-curious. I wouldn't freak out too much about it all.

   I read somewhere that this song is about lady gaga actually being interested in women.. not necessarily a lesbian.. just curious.
   The 'poker face' analogy being that to her boyfriend she obviously looks like she's straight but she's just got a 'poker face' on and is bluffing so that he doesn't find out that she's curious about women.
   I also read that it goes as far as when she's having sex with her boyfriend she's thinking about girls but I don't know if you believe that or not to be honest.

   I saw an interview on Fuse with Lady Gaga stating this song was about her thinking about women whilst having sex with a previous boy friend.

    I always thought it was about her showing a guy her 'Relationship Rules' as I call them. I don't know for sure, but it's still a good song to dance to!^_^
