Hey guys. I have a question for Christians and music lovers. I'm hoping you guys can answer. So we all know who Lady Gaga is. She's the absolute music icon and has some of the best songs ever. Many content creators use her music such as "Bloody Mary" for edits. One of her songs is called "Judas". At first I didn't think there was anything weird with it. But then at some point in lyrics I noticed that it said "But something's pulling me away from you Jesus is my virtue And Judas is the demon I cling to I cling to" At that moment I could no longer ignore this and decided to look up who this Judas is. And I was stunned to learn that he was the one who betrayed Jesus. (Yes as a Muslim we do believe in Jesus). And I decided to listen to the song again but this time decided to pay more attention to the lyrics and it kept on saying "I'm in love with Judas". I looked through the comments on YouTube on this song. And not even a single comment pointed this out. I use Lady Gaga's music as inspiration for my stories and quite frankly, I don't like listening to a music with questionable meaning. I originally thought to ask a friend who I'm sure will be able to answer. But she's going through enough and I decided to give her space but I'm curious. Am I reading too much into a song? Is there a context to this song that I don't know of? Please do tell me. Thank you for your time.

@Braidzella hey bestie. That's a nice perspective. Maybe the song is just using these as a symbol. And welcome back to Wattpad. I missed you so much.

@Sadiesia Hey girl! Just randomly decided to log back in to Wattpad and I saw this! I'm not religious, and really don't know hardly anything about Judas or Jesus or whatnot. But what I understand is that the song is referring to is she is falling in love with a guy who is bad for her and who will backstab her. The parts about Judas and Jesus reflect how her situation is similar to some story in the bible about them. Really, don't overthink it. Music is to enjoy! I love this song and listen to it on repeat. I'm not religious so I could care less about it's religious ties. I just think of the song as using a story for inspiration. Hope that helps from a different perspective

@DHA-Karbie yeah! Now I'm tempted to reverse Beyonce's songs because of all the gossips going on. But I'm terrified to do so
