This is an obvious reference to the Grimm Brothers story of the Red Shoes. It actually says in the song;
"She gotta dance, she gotta dance
And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off
These shoes do, a kind of voodoo
They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off"
In the story, this girl gets these shoes. She finds out that she can't take the shoes off her feet. So everywhere she goes, she dances, and she can't control the dancing. In many of the versions of this story, she dies by burning to death because her dancing was so passionate that it set her alight. In others, she danced so much that her legs fell off.
@Astarte24 this is the perfect allegory for our lives now. Our red shoes are the carbon rich climate destroying lifestyle. We cannot stop destroying our world without cutting them off. But dare not do this and we keep dancing until we drop dead.
