But thinking of it now, dancing in the light is awkward. I can't dance the same in a party if it's not dark.

That song is about sex.

It's true, but I think she does it to go back to her roots and show contrast.
But I don't know why, I lol'd at that.

You know that as much as I love Gaga, I enjoy shading her occasionally. You've read the DMs.

I thought it was about weight, confidence etc, no?
Edit: Well, it could be, actually. What song of hers doesn't contain some kind of sex-related content?

It's not. It's about women rights.

It's about self-esteem issues, as related to sex. So you're both right.

Am I the only one who doesn't pay attention to lyrics (and what they are about) at all?

She has said that the woman is not confident about her body and must therefore have sex in the dark in order to prevent her embarrassment.

"Baby does her dance in the dark," Lady Gaga sings, " 'cause when he's looking she falls apart."
If you thought the pop superstar was referring to something as simple as a night out at the club in "Dance in the Dark," from The Fame Monster, you don't know Gaga very well — and you're flat-out wrong. As she explained to The Los Angeles Times, the tune is about a rather more intimate experience — one that takes place not within the bass-blaring confines of a nightclub but between two people alone in a bedroom.
"The record is about a girl who likes to have sex with the lights off, because she's embarrassed about her body," Gaga explained. "She doesn't want her man to see her naked. She will be free, and she will let her inner animal out, but only when the lights are out."
The song goes on to reference two supernatural trends-du-jour — "Around her kiss is a vampire grin/ Moonlights away while she is howling at him" she sings — as a means to express how people rely on external cues to cope with internal anxiety.
"She doesn't feel free without the moon," Gaga said. "These lyrics are a way for me to talk about how I believe women and some men feel innately insecure about themselves all the time. It's not sometimes, it's not in adolescence, it's always."
And it applies to everyone, regardless of whether you have a string of Billboard chart toppers or you're listening to the track in your car. Though acknowledging that she's in a "deeper, more compassionate place" since writing her debut album, The Fame, Gaga made clear that she continues to struggle with issues of body image and self-doubt in her own life.
"[T]he song isn't called 'Dance in the Light,' " she said. "I'm not a gospel singer trying to cross people over. What I'm saying is, 'I get it. I feel you, I feel the same way, and it's OK.' "

From Wikipedia:

The album's fifth track, "Dance in the Dark", depicts a girl being uncomfortable when having sex. Speaking about the song, Gaga said, "She doesn’t want her man to see her naked. She will be free, and she will let her inner animal out, but only when the lights are out."

Yeah, you're right. 
I was thinking Speechless as I wrote that, was hoping no one would notice

Lyrics are the most important part of the song for me.

Lyrics are kind of important, but they come second to the beat.

Well, it depends on the song for me. I wouldn't try to analyze say, "Whip My Hair".  But since The Fame Monster had a lot of concepts, it was interesting to figure what they were about.
Thanks for the clear-ups as well.

I was just thinking, if I decided to pull an Alexz and turn on Gaga for some reason, SYG would not be a pretty place for her fans to visit.

Sometimes I think of the things I'd say. It would make Starstruck52 look like a super Gaga fan, the kind who break into tears upon meeting her.
I don't have the heart though, she's too holy to diss.
(I'm often tempted, though, just for fun  )
