Pills - Songs for Sabotage (Pop). With “Pills”, Songs for Sabotage takes us back to the Fame Monster, with an early Lady Gaga-esque midtempo. “Pills” explores a former life of meaningless friendships and empty party culture—the realization of that serving as a “bitter pill” to swallow. The production on the track is top notch, featuring a driving synth bass and crisp percussion with synth swells that add an epic quality to the track. The vocals, layered perfection, are also VERY Lady Gaga—you might even mistake this song for one of hers. But as excellently produced as this one is, the standout of the record are the lyrics, with incredibly creative word choice and phrasing exploring a unique subject matter and fresh point of view. This is a special one.

Best Lyric: “Dead all day and then awake at night.”
