Lady Gaga - Princess Die - Born This Way Ball - Vienna 2012

[@godgasgypsy6718]

this was her suicide note.. she’s crying while singing the lyrics that years later have proven to be things she was going through at that time yet nobody had caught on it.

[@ajplays7241]

that's because people kept saying /comparing it to Princess Diana

[@AlmondMilkLake]

Yeah, if she hadn't broken her hip she probably would have killed herself some time after finishing the BTW Ball Tour, joining "The 27 club", this feels like she was trying to give her fans one final gift before departing from this world, but due to her surgery i bet her doctors or the people taking care of her noticed her depression and suicidal behaviour, and made her get help, which resulted in the difficult and painful era that ARTPOP was for her, medicated all the time, feeling like shit, with everyone who she loved and was close to her leaving her behind for money, i'm amazed at how strong she is for surviving all of that after quite literally making up her mind about comitting suicide and singing it live to her fans every show she could... I'm so glad Chromatica took her to a way better place, as painful as the process was for her, she's still healing of course, but we're hopefully far away from "Princess Die"

[@tzstar7215]

I to struggle for most of my life, even on meds. It's a day to day struggle for sure for me. I love Gaga, I want to be a singer, I'm over 50.

[@fulsman230]

I fear that too, she was having a real bad time and seeking for help :'(

[@rickyroman1491]

It is a crime that this is not on an album.

[@johncrowerdoe5527]

It's fantastic that she's so good that this didn't even make her top (approx) 70 of songs she wrote (those better songs being the ones she considered good enough for albums).

[@auwanho]

Honestly even if this song has studio version, it will never beat any of the live versions. This is just so emotion-fused.

[@katieharris868]

this is so true

[@okay3124]

iknooowwww

[@vincent7487]

Gaga didn't release this because she thought it wasn't one of her best pieces of work. She couldn't be more wrong! :-((

[@fanfanlin788]

WHAT!? This one of my favorite Gaga songs!!

[@dega3622]

Fanfan Lin thought it was bc of her label. That's why she only performed it live

[@gabrielkline2581]

My name is Skeleton. Both Brooklyn Nights and Princess Die were made/wrote for ARTPOP.

[@ThatsSoKatie44]

She said that this song wouldn't be included in ARTPOP because it wasn't as good as the actual tracks on ARTPOP. I disagree with that...

[@giorgiozeniquel3153]

these two, BN and PD, were best than many of the ARTPOP tracks

I hate seeing her cry all this woman deserves is to be happy she’s an angel who has done so much for millions of us monsters if the whole world saw the world like she sees it the world would truly be a better place I’m sobbing I would not be here today without this incredible woman she’s my whole world I’m a little monster till death and after love you so much Gaga the biggest inspiration in the world ❤️😭🌎💞🙌🏻

[@tzstar7215]

She is ur right

[@MichaelNaness]

Her new documentary will give this song even more of a dark and intimate meaning into what was going on in the critical moment in here career. Her "little monster" were starting to leave her, she was addicted to prescription drugs and dope and most of all the media turned her back on her. She was suicidal at this time and I am so thankful she never took her life. MONSTER FOR LIFE

[@grayrodgers6265]

[@thirteenpeaches]

I’m crying

[@yves3118]

At first I was unhappy that this song wasn't released but now I think about it, releasing this song now wouldn't fit her albums, it such a sad song and I feel like Gaga won't to such a concept anymore, this song fits with btw era so well. And yes I'm also soooo happy where she is now, such a wonderful artist

THIS IS MAKING ME CRY... THERE IS DEEP SADNESS IN THIS SONG...

[@jaybirdph]

I can see why people associate this song with having to do with Princess Diana, however, I believe this song to be more along the lines of a suicide note from Lady Gaga herself. This was a cry for help, and I'm glad she's still with us to this day.

[@kingshaw6576]

GAGA IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF CREATION I THINK WE'VE EVER WITNESSED AND I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT ANYBODY HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS COMMENT OR ABOUT HER SO, "BYE FELICIA!"

[@witchbtch6372]

I love 6:12 to 6:43 so much - just the buildup to "She *just wants to sleep" and then slamming* into the break elicits CHILLS omg

[@leopardprintprinxess]

best song she’s ever written

[@IAMASELENATOR92]

Gaga knows how to write incredible, powerful lyrics. You could tell she poured her heart into these lyrics.

[@emilyott8799]

It amazes me how open she is with her fans and how shes not afraid to be that venerable in-front of her fans. I will forever have so much respect for this woman and how talented she is.

[@camilalolein8173]

lyrics: Leave the coffin open when I go Leave my pearls and lipstick on, so everybody knows Pretty will be the photograph I leave Laying down on famous knives, so everybody sees Bleach out all the dark I'll swallow each peroxide shot Someone I'll know could love and save me from myself Maybe I'll just clean the shit off of these fancy shoes I'll be a Princess Die and die with you I wish that I was strong I wish that I was wrong I wish that I could cope But I took pills and left a note I'm so hungry from an anorexic heart I've been trying to tell you how I feel, but was never very smart I'm wrapped in silks made for Egyptian queens I'll do it in the swimming pool, so everybody sees Bleach out all the dark I'll swallow each peroxide shot I'll need someone to love and save me from myself Maybe I'll just keep clean the shit off of these fancy shoes I'll be a Princess Die and die with you Princess die I want to see her cry Princess die Princess die We want to watch her cry Princess die I wish that I could go in my rich boyfriend's limo Right after he proposed with a 16-carat stone wrapped in rose gold With the paparazzi all swarming around In my Louis Vuitton white buttoned down Oh, it's not that deep So bob your head for another dead blonde whose real prince is in heaven She just wants to sleep Princess die I want to see her cry Princess die Princess die We want to watch her cry Princess die The final act of life will be my own hands to do I'll be a Princess Die and die with you

umm i tihink that line means sumthing else

[@Bacana6317]

"She's meditating guys"~

[@Leo-eb5nc]

Not trying to get into conspiracy theories, but it is still curious that when she decided to start singing this song regularly on the BTW Ball tour, she was 26. And 27 is a number with a lot of weight when it comes to suicidal behaviour in the entertainment industry (Amy, Cobain, Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison, ...). When I watch her sing this song, it always seems she is sending a note, warning, preparing us or something. Maybe I'm seeing too much. I don't know if it was merely a coincidence, but it's a fact they cancelled the rest of the tour in february, due to the "surgery". She was about to be 27 a few weeks later.

[@itsbeaners]

that's actually a really cool conspiracy :)

[@Thatguitarist]

Leo She’s okay now. She broke her hip and that’s why she cancelled the tour. God Bless 👍

[@axyom9450]

She said a few times that breaking her hip saved her life. She was burning out. She'd have to be suicidal to write this song. If you've been suicidal at least once in your life, you know these are the exact thoughts you go through when you want to end yourself.

[@Alex-vk2by]

the surgery was coz she had broken her hip lo not her trying to stop the tour or whatever

[@AR23-afrg]

What if she actually died and now were living upon her clone, I know she apart of MK ultra

[@sammitayy7259]

I believe this song is not so much about celebrity suicide, but how sometimes she just wants to be a 'normal' person and not be famous. I'm sure she LOVES being famous, but being famous is probably difficult, especially since she's been famous basically for... forever. She's never really lived an actual normal life. It's kind of sad, really. You can see how much emotion she puts into this particular song. I love her with all of my heart.

[@taewootaewoo4982]

why do u think its about that

[@imspring3033]

well i honestly think it’s not about celebrity suicide but suicide in general mostly probably about her being suicidal but she just added a concept to it

[@gracekeeble4499]

CHILLS EVERY TIME

[@callummurphy7170]

as much as we love this song i think it's clear that it brings her so much pain. i often consider the btw era to be our love's most painful. we love you so!i hope you are happy now x

[@untrustjacob]

no one commenting including myself knows what it's like to go through having millions of fans and have to deal with every-day stress and money with the industry and dealing with her own personal battles like every other person so I think people should lay off because she's gone through a lot in her life and we are all not her, so we can't ever judge someone else for their own decisions because it's their life. coexist

[@fatimahayu8135]

I remember ppl talk negatively about this song. Ppl associate it with late Princess Di. I feel that too but what's the matter, I believe she just tried to express her concern about what happened to the late princess and the mental health issue around this and herself. And thanks God Gaga made it through.. don't cry anymore baby.. you deserved all thr happiness in this universe ❤💜

It's a powerful song, and that's a powerful performance. The song is a suicide note and her words are dripping with sarcasm when she invites the audience to sing along. Then they cheer when she sings 'I'll be a Princess Die and die with you'. No wonder she gave them the fingers. I don't think she could ever release this song, but it would be hard to top this performance anyway.
