“Alejandro” is a dark, theatrical meditation on masculinity, loss, and power, where Lady Gaga embodies a woman caught between mourning and rebellion. The video portrays masculinity as cold, rigid, and militarized—emotionally repressed and bound by duty, religion, and performance. The male figures, dressed as soldiers or stylized dancers, are symbols of a type of manhood that has been hardened by systems of control: war, religion, heteronormativity.
