Lady Gaga said somewhere that this song is about being a workaholic. While for most people the "dance floor" equals a fun night out, for Lady Gaga this is her job. It's about prioritizing her dance and music and performance over personal relationships. Every song on the "Fame Monster" deals with a different "monster," this one being something akin to fear of commitment or fear of not working/dancing/singing.
