   "Oh, I'm in love with Judas, Judas
   Oh, I'm in love with Judas, Judas"
   She loves a betrayer, someone who betrays Christ.
   
   "I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs"
   Just like Jesus's feet were washed by Mary, she'll bow down to Judas. She respects Judas if she's willing to do this.
   
   "Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain"
   He's a liar, like Judas
   "Even after three times he betrays me"
   Peter betrayed Jesus 3x.
   
   "I'll bring him down
   Bring him down, down
   A king with no crown
   King with no crown"
   
   At this point she's now referring to bringing down Jesus, he was a king with no crown. She is obviously a satanist and you can deny it all you want. She refers to raising your "paws" to HIM in "born this way". That's referring to His Infernal Majesty aka Satan
   
   "I'm just a holy fool
   Oh baby, he's so cruel
   But I'm still in love with Judas, baby"
   
   She knows it's wrong to worship him since she's a fool, just like people who deny Christ ultimately know he really exists
   
   "In the most Biblical sense I am beyond repentance
   Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind"
   
   This is true. She knows she's a sinner and not willing to turn to Christ. She'd rather worship Satan and look up to Judas

   The song is about ending religion. Specifically the song is stating that the world will be better when religion is gone, especially Christianity. She speaks of washing Judas' feet with her hair. In the Bible, a widow washed Jesus's feat with her hair, and she used her tears, as well as an alabaster jar to annoint Jesus. So Gaga is saying, given the choice, she'd rather annoint Judas. Think about Judas, he betrayed Jesus and caused him to be crucified for 50 pieces of Silver. Also she keeps saying, "I'll bring him down, I'll bring him down, a king with no crown." Jesus has many titles, "King of the Jews" was the title they placed on his cross when he was crucified. Christians call him "King of Kings, Lord of Lords". But Gaga wants to "bring down the King with no crown". It's a Euphemism. She's saying she can bring down religion, and bring down Christianity. A king with no crown means that Jesus doesn't rule over her. She's knows Biblically he ought to, but she doesn't agree with the Bible. Instead, she sees Judas as doing something that should have happened a long time ago...by "killing" Christ, he's "killed" religion. If religion dies, then Gay people won't be persecuted anymore. Plus people wouldn't need to feel bad about having affairs, murder ect. Gaga views Religion as the problem and she views Judas as the answer. Kill the Messiah, and thusly kill the belief system that "holds back" what she sees as human progress. Kill religion and Gay people can get married and people can have abortions and we as humans can establish our own set of right and wrong. The Bible mentions a time when "Every man did what was right in his own eye". Gaga wants this. In this way, she becomes a New Messiah for Gay people and the like. She grew up Roman Catholic and sees Religion, Christianity in particular as backwards and as holding up the progress of man's destiny. She even says, "Biblically speaking, I am beyond Repentance". In other words she doesn't want to be made to feel like the lifestyle she leads (read Gay people leads) should be looked down upon. "I'm a holy fool" means she tried religion. It just doesn't work for her. "In the Cultural sense, I just speak in future tense" -- in other words if you follow me, I can show you man's true destiny and it does not involve Christianity. There is a better future that doesn't involve God, Christ, the Bible or other religions.
   
   In other words, no, she is not Christian. Gaga sold her soul years ago. And "Judas" is a double entendre. She means "Judas" as in the guy who betrayed Jesus and "Judas", the name of her own personal demon. Christ says that it's harder for a rich person to get to heaven than it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Think about it...she Gaga came out of relative obscurity and within 2 years went from being a stripper to the most world wide known celebrity.
   
   Most of you are sheep. And won't pay attention. But one of you will. I hope I reach that one.
   
   Stop listening to her.

   She has a habit of choosing the wrng kind of men. She refers to him as "Judas" because he betrays her just as Judas betrays Jesus. The song is really confusing and I wish she wouldnt hve use this story frm the Bible to paint a picture of her relationships

   Enough with the allegations of being an anti-Christ and stuff! She's just comparing bad people she's dated to Judas, which in and of itself is offensive, but still... It's not like she's the first to offend people. The song is catchy, so let's not argue about how offensive the lyrics are. If you don't like it, don't listen to it.

   She stated in an interview it was about her past relationships and how she kept falling over and over again for the wrong guy... Live for it. #PawsUpForJudas
