In today’s society our country is divided by political opinions. People often forget to put politics past them which damage relationships. Lady Gaga’s, Angel Down, discusses the problems that the world faces. In a chaotic age of violence it is hard to find peace in knowing that everything is going to be okay. Gaga uses this song to voice her opinion on the current struggles our country faces with violence. She hopes that people will eventually come together, especially in violent times, despite their differences.

In Angel Down, Gaga is a believer of people. In her most recent album “Joanne” she sings about many social issues. Gaga wants what is best for the worlds and makes that a point in her songs. The song opens with Gaga confessing that even she is lost and often times does not know how to help America’s problems. She explains that one should be grateful for their lives and live with love.

I’m a believer, it’s a trial
Foolish and weaker, oh, oh, oh
I’d rather save an angel down
I’m a believer, it’s chaos
Where are our leaders?

This line from the chorus is very meaningful. Gaga points out that in a time of trial and error she still believes in the good of the world. Angel down is said in this line which helps listeners understand the title of this song. She uses the word angel to refer to the happiness of country is dying. Innocent people are being killed and Gaga explains that instead of arguing politics she would rather focus on the people who are suffering from the violence. She asks, “Where are our leaders?” inferring that congress of today are not fixing the problems occurring in America. In todays society gun violence is very prevalent and people like Gaga are using their voices to push for change.
