Teeth by Lady Gaga explores themes of truth, dominance, and vulnerability. In this song, Gaga uses the metaphor of showing one's teeth as a way to reveal the truth and expose vulnerabilities. The line 'Tell me something that'll save me' suggests a craving for honesty and authenticity, while 'Take a bite of my bad girl meat' reflects a mix of empowerment and raw sensuality. The song's intense, almost aggressive tone underscores a struggle between showing strength and facing vulnerability.
