This song seems to me to be about someone in power, and that someone is abusing their power. Almost like a bully, "Take him out today" and when Dexter goes on to say "Nice work you did, you're gonna go far kid" it draws back to someone bullying another, because you'll go nowhere being a bully your whole life. But whoever this someone is, they're probably sadistic, hence the line "See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives" This someone who's sadistic and cruel is manipulating and framing another person, "with a thousand lies, and a good disguise." And the "Dance fucker dance" line I think it's just another line showing how this person in power is again abusing that power, manipulating someone else, making them do what they want. Anyways, that's my take on it.
Yah, agree it's about manipulating, disagree with the abuse of power thing. I'ts written in the point of view of the victim, so when the song (the victim) says "dance, fucker, dance" its saying dodge this. I really believe that means the manipulator is having a fall from grace, and you can't dodge the truth about you. Agree perfectly on "see them running for their lives". "take him out today" means getting rid of someone causing you trouble, and "nice work you did, you're gonna go far,kid" is saying, "you're pretty fucking good at this"....

...And that's exactly why this is about Lord of the Flies.
