Gaga begins with the theme of the song: That you should be who you are because that is the way you were born.
Additionally, Born This Way is the name of her third album.
The title also serves as an implicit rebuke to anti-gay politicians and activists who have taken to using as part of their rhetoric the untrue, denied by every expert idea that being LGBTQ+ is a “choice.”

Anwar Carrots is a longtime pal of Tyler’s. He is also the manager of former OFWGer Casey Veggies
Tyler is wearing a synthetic wig to mock “deaf rock stars” (think “hair metal” bands of the 80s). In particular, this is probably a play on Def Leppard, one of the leading hair metal bands. Tyler is all about the new and young, and wants to send ageing musicians out to pasture
This line is also another paradox: Anwar’s dreads are undoubtedly real, so if Tyler had a “synthetic” (fake) wig made out of them, how would it not be real?
Someone who is deaf couldn’t hear a mock so there would be no point.

Twilight is an immensely popular romance film series that revolves around a woman making a choice between vampires or wolves. Tyler draws many parallels between this series and Odd Future as they are both well received and include wolves.

The Holy Trinity of father, son, and holy spirit comprises a triangle but Hodgy is referencing the “Bermuda Triangle” aka the “Devil’s Triangle.” Also, triangles are a commonly used symbol for the Illuminati, another Satan-worshiping group. If Hodgy is an Illuminati member, it would be nearly impossible for him to find his angel.
Good luck finding your Angel here.
A triangle is used to contain a spirit, often demons, in many types of the occult.
