Meaning of Perfect Illusion lyrics by Lady Gaga

December 19, 2022

The song “Perfect Illusion” by Lady Gaga is an exploration of a relationship in which the person initially thought they were in love, but later realized that it was not what it seemed. The lyrics paint a picture of a protagonist who is trying to gain control again after the relationship has taken its toll on them. The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that the relationship was not real and was merely a “perfect illusion,” or a mistaken impression for love. The bridge of the song references the confusion of not knowing where the person was, despite feeling as if they were watching and that the relationship was still active. In the outro, the protagonist resolves the confusion of the relationship when they come to the realization that this was not love, it was just an illusion. Ultimately, the song is a warning against placing too much trust in something that may ultimately be nothing at all.
