Singer
Lady
Gaga
has
broken
her
silence
over
the
controversy
surrounding
the
lyrics
and
the
video
of
her
new
single
'Judas'.
She
has
defended
the
offensive
music
video
by
saying
that
it
is
a
'metaphor
for
forgiveness'.
It
is
not
supposed
to
be
blasphemous,
but
is
meant
more
to
celebrate
faith
than
it
is
to
challenge
it.
Talking
to
the
MSN
Entertainment,
Lady
Gaga
says,
"Someone
once
said
to
me,
'If
you
have
no
shadows
then
you're
not
standing
in
the
light.'
So
the
song
is
about
washing
the
feet
of
both
good
and
evil
and
understanding
and
forgiving
the
demons
from
your
past
in
order
to
move
into
the
greatness
of
your
future.
I
just
like
really
aggressive
metaphors
-
harder,
thicker,
darker
and
my
fans
do
as
well."
The
American
singer
adds
that
in
essence,
the
video
of
'Judas'
suggests
that
forgiveness
and
betrayal
are
hand
in
hand.
The
song
puts
destiny
above
all
things
and
postures
that
the
mistakes
in
one's
life
are
in
fact
not
mistakes
at
all,
they
are
just
part
of
his/her
overarching
potential
and
his/her
destiny.
However,
'Judas'
is
a
song
taken
from
the
album
'Born
This
Way'.
It
speaks
of
a
woman,
who
is
in
love
with
a
man
who
betrays
her.
Lady
Gaga
plays
Mary
Magdalene,
a
Mother
Monster,
in
its
music
video.
Despite
facing
the
wrath
of
Catholic
Church,
the
singer
has
planned
to
premiere
it
on
'American
Idol'
on
May
2.
