This is why the Philippines will stay a backward country. You all need to be more open minded and think about what she is saying. Judas is a metaphor for betrayal. Jesus forgave Judas. So why can’t you? Dumb people.

Whereas Lady Gaga exemplifies the advancement and wealth of the western world eh? Lady Gaga is an example of a respectable society and artisan. Objecting to Gaga’s degeneracy is not ‘backwards’ it’s just sane. Gaga is ‘backwards’. Gaga was born with a silver spoon in her mouth with all the opportunities in the world and she decides the best use of her privileged life is desecrating religions and stripping her clothes off to catchy dance beats to make megabucks, she’s the backwards one. Not everything forced on us through television deserves credit.

Judas, in the song, is symbolic and represents Gaga’s dark past; from drug abuse, to wrong choices of men and alcoholism, even though she has moved on into the light, sometimes her past comes back to haunt her. The song is about trying to forgive these “wrong things” which you so dearly used to cling to a long time ago, in order to be pure, and to move into the light. But she’s trying to say that, it’s human nature, for us to be able to not forgive and forget things easily.
On a second level, the song is about Judas and his destiny. It was Judas’ destiny to betray Christ, for the sake of fulfilling Scripture. As we all know, Scripture is a book of prophecies written thousands of years before Christ’s birth to this world. Back to Judas, in a way, Judas was born to betray Christ. God brought Judas into this world to betray Jesus. It’s unfair because we always deem Judas to be the “bad” or “evil” one, but if you look closer, it wasn’t actually Judas’ fault because he was “destined” to betray Jesus. God planted that conscience to seal the kiss onto Jesus in that very few moments in the garden. Despite so, Jesus and Mary Magdalene (which Gaga seems to depict in parts of the video), forgave Judas and still loves Judas, hence, “Still in love with Judas”.
I am a strong Catholic from Malaysia, and I find that people often misunderstand Gaga’s work, simply because she’s an easy target. The reason why she creates all these controversies is because by doing so, she’ll get more people talking about her, just like how we’re debating about her in this entry, and her popularity will be boosted. I not only find that she’s a genius in mastering the art of fame, but also a poetic and lyrical genius. I’m constantly amazed at the fact that she uses heavy symbolism and metaphors in her songs, something the pop market really needs now. She’s following the footsteps of Shakespeare, and all the great poets in the past.
