Love is like a brick. You can build a house, or you can sink a dead body.

The line treats love as a morally neutral “tool” whose value depends on how it’s used. Like a brick, love can be constructive—something you build a life, home, or identity with—but it can also be weaponized or become complicit in harm, obsession, or concealment. The jarring pivot to “sink a dead body” underscores how the same intense attachment that nurtures can also enable destructive choices, secrecy, or violence. Read as a pop-culture aphorism, it fits Gaga’s public persona of mixing sincerity with shock: a blunt reminder that emotions don’t guarantee virtue, and that responsibility lies in the actions love motivates.
