I think overall this song is about the hardships and disappointments of life, mostly lost love, though, and how life is like a dance. People telling you not to rock the boat, relationships and how they don't work out, having kids born into a corrupt society, wanting to be with Mr. Right (someone not there) and how that could be a complete disaster, trying to stay friends after a breakup, and the anger at a former lover you can feel when you're finally over then, and finally, shared custody of a kid (you get your time and the other half's mine).
