Directed and narrated by Lady Gaga herself and clocking in at nearly two minutes, the star has released a preview for her new music video that pays homage to high school feminist literature like The Bell Jar and Girl, Interrupted.

“Marry the Night: The Prelude Pathetique” begins with a voiceover, saying:

“When I look back on my life, it’s not that I don’t want to see things exactly as they happened, it’s just that I prefer to remember them in an artistic way.”

With her relentless pursuit of artistic expression, it’s safe to say that Lady Gaga fills in any ugly holes on THG and makes it beautiful every day.
