It's a product of your surroundings, and your mental state. So what? Is she giving birth to humans? Then why is she an alien? That makes zero sense.

Have Gaga videos ever made sense? or music videos in general? I mean, remember music videos are commercials not art. It's just supposed to be a collection of random images in order to create some sort of emotional impulses in order to create an association between the listener, and the sound in order to keep it in memory.
Seeing as it was a particularly weak single it's obvious that Gaga's going to pull out all the stops, and pair it with powerful high budget imagery in order to make up for the loss. It doesn't matter if it means anything, that's for artists, and somebody who is about as artistic as a bag of cheetoes obviously is going to resort to mass ambiguity as not to polarize an audience yet keep things as impulsive as possible to keep the ADD generation in tune.
After all, strong complex imagery to base insultingly simplistic music is what keeps Gaga in business, and the money is rolling. Why change things now?
