I find this song to be somewhat of an oxymoron. I think it represents creativity, but distinctively creativity after destruction of a non-creative society.
I feel this is one video where the music video needs to be taken into context- without the music video, Ke$ha's interpretation is hard to take in. The music video really guides the interpretation of the lyrics.
In any case, creativity is clearly presented- the glitter, unicorns, the rainbow guns. All these add to the idea of creativity. Lyrics also indicate an interpretation to creativity. "Go insane, go insane, throw some glitter make it rain on him" is indicative of not only creativity, but change. Ke$ha's indications are not only to bring creativity, but to destruct a modern society that doesn't treasure creativity. "It's time to lose your mind and let the crazy out" also indicates one to be creative and different, and not to be like everyone else.
"This place about to blow" indicates Ke$ha's willingness to destruct a modern society in order to reconstruct her creative society based on glitter, unicorns, and rainbows. In essence, she is metaphorically stating that people should not follow the everyday norms- they should go above and beyond to be different and creative. "It's time to kill the lights and shut the DJ down" also indicates the willingness to destruct the modern normal-doers.
The introduction of James Van Der Beek in her video is suggestive of society destruction of everyday norms. Van Der Beek is an actor and he's previously acted as a fictionalized version of himself (according to Wikipedia). He's an actor who follows a scripted screenplay, unlike Ke$ha who wants to be more spontaneous, open, and creative. Ke$ha's head-hunting of Van Der Beek suggests that creativity prevails over realism. She wants an unpredictable and abstract future, far different from the realism Van Der Beek portrays.
I might be overanalyzing the lyrics, but this is my take on it.
