"Baby does her dance in the dark," Lady Gaga sings, " 'cause when he's looking she falls apart."
If Du 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, Du 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 Mehr 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 Du have a string of Billboard chart toppers oder you're listening to the track in your car. Though acknowledging that she's in a "deeper, Mehr compassionate place" since Schreiben 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 kreuz people over. What I'm saying is, 'I get it. I feel you, I feel the same way, and it's OK.' "

I want your whisky mouth
All over my blonde south
Red wine and cheap perfume
And a filthy shout
Tonight bring all your Friends
Because a group does it better
Why river with a pair
Let’s have a full house and leather
Ooh-ooh-ooh-who-who
Who-who-who ooh-who-who
Who who
Heavy Metal Lover
Ooh-ooh-ooh-who-who
Who-who-who ooh-who-who

Heavy Metal Lover
Dirty pony I can’t wait to hose Du down
You’ve got to earn your leather in this part of town
Dirty pearls and a patch for all the Rivington Rebels
Let’s raise hell in the streets drink bier and get into trouble
I could be your girl girl girl girl girl girl
But would Du Liebe me if I ruled the world world world
Oooooo
Heavy Metal Lover
Whip me slap me, drunk funk
New York clubbers, bump drunk
Budlite, liquors, bar slam
Wash the night, with St. J-ameson
Like a baptism
Heavy metal Liebhaber play
Because we were born this way
All over my blonde south
Red wine and cheap perfume
And a filthy shout
Tonight bring all your Friends
Because a group does it better
Why river with a pair
Let’s have a full house and leather
