Lady GaGa; Judas

Note, this is a Literal Interpretation.
Christ laid down his life for his friends of this there is no greater sacrifice.Judas dimed out his friend for money. Sinners need love. That's fine. But I don't see the narrator of the song rebuking Judas for his bad behavior. Love needs courage. I see a twisted reward system here. Reguardless of what Judas does, she engages in ambiguious double entendre when she needs to be crystal clear on direction here. She should be challenging him, not enabling him. ... She is rationalizing with a confused moral compass. She is beyond repentance that is geo specific on the dante scale.

Lou Reed;Coney Island Baby

William James defines the cycle of of the "sick soul" (this not a negative term) as having an affinity with a need to raze the earth and follows with redemption in pure light, love.

Want to play football for the coach...the first step to enlightenment (faith)

Remember the princess who lived on the hill/who loved you even though she knew you was wrong...Hope

And you think about/All of those things that you done...here is the pathos of the sick soul. here is the pyre by which he purifies himself

And the Glory of Love...(Charity) a psalm to the glory of love

Few songs come close to transend and reach the Ding ach sich (The thing itself). Each phrase falls off a hidden structure tumbling, folding, edifying the human soul. Fews songs leave us richer after each listen

Katy Perry; California Gurls

The song reaks of falleness. Loring woman into believing that there is a glory in objectifying themselves. Snoop unleashing his libidinal thoughts at the end doesn't help. No one is edified by these lyrics. No good comes from fooling woman into devaluing themselves. All senses, no community beyond the material.
