IMO
"I love that lavender blonde, The way she moves, the way she walks", This song is undoubtedly about her lesbian crush on a best friend, or someone close to her in the past. She touches herself at night because not only is the love not mutually reciprocated but it is a deep dark secret( "Through all the tears and all the lies." )
The singer is scared that the person she yearns for will not love her back or worse, disown her for her tabooed desires. Therefore, the only way she can deal with her accumulated hidden feelings is touching herself all through the night as she can not express her forbidden love to whomever she is talking about. When shes with her crush she is so happy she can die whilst abusing alcohol to alleviate the tremendous pain and stress she suffers. Bending the world away from reality.
I'd never really thought about it that way but now that I think about it, it seems very possible. I think Gaga wanted it to seem like it was only about alcohol, but really it's about something different.

For example:
For example:
"I love that lavender blond
The way she moves, the way she walks
I touch myself, can't get enough"
"I love that lavender blond
The way she moves, the way she walks
I touch myself, can't get enough"
This part is obviously about a girl with blond hair that she has a crush on

"And in the silence of the night
Through all the tears and all the lies,
I touch myself and it's all right"...
"And in the silence of the night
Through all the tears and all the lies,
I touch myself and it's all right"
She's crying because she has this internal secret of having a crush on a girl. She's saying it's a "lie" because maybe she doesn't even want to believe that it's true because she'd never thought she would be attracted to another girl
"Just give in
Don't give up baby
Open up your heart and your mind to me"
Tell the girl to open up herself so they can get to know each other. Or she could even be telling that to herself, like wanting to get to know herself better to see if she really likes this girl.
"Just know when
That glass is empty, that the world is gonna bend"
This would be her time hanging out with her friend. Like whenever friends hang out with each other, but only "for a drink or two". She doesn't want the glass to empty because then she won't be with her friend anymore
"Happy in the club with a bottle of red wine
Stars in our eyes 'cause we're having a good time
Eh eh, so happy I could die"
She's just with her friend, having a good time spending time with her.
"Be your best friend yeah I love you forever,
Up in the clouds we're both higher than ever
Eh eh, so happy I could die
And it's all right?"
Same idea, they're just really good friend and are having a good time together, especially Gaga since she has her crush.
"I am as vain as I allow
I do my hair, I gloss my eyes
I touch myself all through the night"
This line could be that she finds herself attractive, but only enough so it's the sexy confidence that attracts others. By saying she is "as vain as she allows" she's acknowledging that she doesn't automatically assume that everyone she meets will fall in love with her, like her crush.
"And when something falls out of place
I take my time, I put it back
I touch myself 'till I'm on track"
I'm not really sure how this line fits in, but it could just mean that she likes everything to be perfect and might even go as far as to "plan" things ahead of time. Her yearning for another girl would not be something she had ever planned for herself.
Then the song just repeats itself and stuff.
So yeah, this is just an idea. But it could also relate to the whole "fear" theme because she is fearing liking another women, fearing this secret and others finding out, and fearing how the girl might feels towards her. It could even be a fear of love or commitment.
"I am as vain as I allow
I do my hair, I gloss my eyes
I touch myself all through the night"
"I am as vain as I allow
I do my hair, I gloss my eyes
I touch myself all through the night"
Whilst earlier in the song "I touch myself", refers to masturbation. At this point, the meaning switches to "touching herself up", hair, dress, make-up.

She's the Lavender Blonde. She sometimes wears a light purple wig. It was her Twitter avatar for the longest time. The song is about her fears of vanity and addiction.

This all refers to the vanity she aforementioned.
