Lady Gaga is back to her high-fashion, technicolor, confusing visual antics with her newest music video.
The so-called "short film" for her newest single, "911," premiered on Friday — and it recalls the surreal storylines of Gaga's past works, like "Telephone" and "Bad Romance."
Gaga wrote the song about her antipsychotic medication and, as described by Billboard's Nolan Feeney, "when your brain and your body feel at war with each other." That tension and duality is artfully reflected in the video.
"This short film is very personal to me, my experience with mental health and the way reality and dreams can interconnect to form heroes within us and all around us," she wrote on Instagram. "Something that was once my real life everyday is now a film, a true story that is now the past and not the present. It's the poetry of pain."
The five-minute video follows a hallucinatory experience after Gaga's character is nearly killed in a car accident — and upon additional viewings, many details emerge that hint at the video's twist ending.
