The Manifesto of Little Monsters is a text written by Lady Gaga and first released on The Fame Monster (Super Deluxe) inside the Book of Gaga. During The Monster Ball Tour, there is an interlude, known as the Monster Film where she reads a slightly modified version of the script.
I. Manifesto of Little Monsters
- This is the written Manifesto, for the interlude, see this page.
There's something heroic about the way my fans operate their cameras. So precisely and intricately, so proudly, and so methodically. Like Kings writing the history of their people. It's their prolific nature that both creates and procures what will later be perceived as the "kingdom." So, the real truth about Lady Gaga fans lies in this sentiment: They are the kings. They are the queens. They write the history of the kingdom, while I am something of a devoted Jester.
It is in the theory of perception that we have established our bond. Or, the lie, I should say, for which we kill. We are nothing without our image. Without our projection. Without the spiritual hologram of who we perceive ourselves to be, or rather to become, in the future.
When you're
lonely,
I'll be lonely too,
And this is the fame.
Love and art.
