Neither can I, and I'm finding that kind of scary. Needless to say this is officially my favorite GaGa song, ever.
Lyrically (to me), the song is not so much about loving darkness or "wrongness", but more about accepting and even embracing your attraction to it. It's an anthem that inspires you to celebrate the underlying motivation behind your worst bad-habits and reoccurring "mistakes".
I think it becomes an even more meaningful statement when you consider the fact that what people often perceive as "negative" isn't naturally their own belief, but a lot of times determined by what society has led them to believe. So in that respect the song becomes about embracing your decisions you've made despite the fact that they may be interpreted by outsiders as "wrong".
I also think the song seeks to diminish much of the power that these "mistakes" and darkness hold over us. In the line "I'll bring him down, a king with no crown" It seems to be a metaphor for humanizing the entire notion of negativity, which we often put on a moral pedastal, making it seem larger than it really is.
We all make what we percieve as wrong decisions, and we certainly all make what people other than ourselves judge to be wrong decisions, and this song is about diminishing their inflated grandeur, humanizing them, accepoting them, and confessing our uncontrolable attraction to them, thereby rendering them harmless.
