Thnx GJ!!!!
The case being I most probably will not work a lot more on the concepts than I already have, will post what I have now and update if something improved comes up.
For Scheisse it is my the Edge of Glory concept as I had posted it on the Gaga thread, but obviously much more refined, more coherent, with the odd or more random elements taken out, and slightly adapt it to the lyrics of the song at places where such adaptations are possible.
The verses match the scene where new Gaga explores the labyrinth,
the hunting part matches the faux-German sequence and
the crying in her tomb part matches the chorus.
There is even more considerable focus on Gaga and her looks are very animal like. (so other animal references will most likely be removed)
Here is the original post from the Gaga thread:

These three parts run simultaneously and we don't necessarily witness a linear progression of their plot.

Pt1:
Athletes rush towards some place using different means and skills. Gaga unicorn-rider is among them. As they move on, their tracks grow worlds behind them and their outfits gradually transform, they get "upgraded". Eventually they all reach a place of light and they see their reflection in the light as they dive into it.

Pt2:
A blindfolded group of people hunt a monster in a labyrinth. Their master is a masked person. One hunter manages to hurt the monster. As the monster is hurt, it removes the veil from his eyes, only to reveal that in truth it is not a monster but a woman. However she’s locked away in an egg shaped tomb, chained to die away. She’s singing while crying flames on her rock skin and sends messages away in the form of nature imagery made with her fire. Her egg shell cracks little by little. Towards the end of the video she bursts into colorful flames. After the video has ended the chains are broken and she’s nowhere to be found.
We also see the hunting from the side of the woman. As she runs from the men she leaves behind emblems carrying the natural symbols she later manifests. Every natural symbol is connected to a skill of each one of the athletes.

Pt3:
A woman with crystal tears is in the labyrinth centuries later. Now people live in it. Each one builds their own room. They cover everything in pictures. The woman walks around and when she sees the emblems glowing in the rooms of other people she takes them but always leaves a picture behind. No one looks directly at anyone else; they all look at each other through their personally decorated mirrors. As she moves on and on she also visits rooms of her former incarnations. When she has gathered all the stones she reaches the final room totally transformed by the stones, where she falls to the ground and starts digging with her hands. When she’s gone really deep lava springs out of the hole into the air forming a phoenix. The phoenix shines its brightest creating a ring before its light spreads everywhere and the creature vanishes. Her crystal tears vaporize because of the light and she watches as the ring falls down on the earth far away.

Stylistically it might refer to pagan futurist (with a touch of death aesthetic), post-modern chic and sport, very avant garde overall, but scaled down to something extraordinarily ordinary and down to earth by Gaga’s standards.


Here's an outline of the Bloody Mary video:
Gaga being captured and turned into a machine shown in flash-backs.
Gaga roams the earth singing the song (or not) as a motorcycle.
It is a post-apocalyptic deserted earth with human skulls around, red skies and all the funny stuff.
During the slow&heavy "Ga-ga/da-dah" chant, Gagaborg stands up leaving her motorcycle parts behind as she approaches a human facility/village thing. People/soldiers gather preparing and attacking her.
During the "dam-dam-darara" sequence Gaga cries and screams as she automatically kills them all, burning everything down, until there's only her standing among the ashes and the flames.

Of course that's Terminator 4 inspired...Imagine that in combination with the lyrics. In the popjustice special I think it was that she explained them. They are about Mary Magdalene, and how she says she will be strong and be cool with what is to come, but she also lets out those desperate screams during the song that show her humanity and how it all really feels. It is meant to have a tragical and dramatic feel, to emphasize on the original sense of the song.
