Bad Romance: Fear of love, specifically loving someone so much you not only tolerate all the bad stuff, but you crave it.
Alejandro: Fear of men/commitment, what they might do to get her for themselves.
Monster: Fear of the realization that she might not be able to have a safe, secure relationship with a good guy for her need of an aggressive, philandering, dangerous guy with a huge **** ("I've never see one like that before . . .")
So Happy I Could Die: Fear of alcohol and its consequences; also, fear of pride/loving ones self so much. (Don't worry about anything, just drink and ********** and it'll be ok).
Speechless: Fear of death, specifically that of a loved one (she did write the song for her Daddy afterall, who was going through heart problems before Gaga finally convinced him to go through with the surgery). In particular, it's about a loved one who thinks he/she is invincible and who don't realize the affect his/her death might have on others.
Dance in the Dark: Fear of fame (though Gaga might dispute the idea that this album has anything to do with fame). More specifically, what affect the public eye has on the insecurities of someone (corruption, self-esteem, suicide, murder). Fear of being watched, or just wanting to have some privacy.
Telephone: Fear of commitment; just wanting to have fun and be free/sleep around--the dance is her freedom, but this freedom is always under attack.
Teeth: Superficially about oral sex; really, it's also about fear of the truth, and wanting to confront this truth no matter how harsh it might be.

I am a great admirer of Lady Gaga, What I write now will most likely come to nothing, but if you don't try you won't know.
I am a male in my mid 50's now and growing up in the 70's there was a singer and songwriter by the name of Clifford T. Ward. I have always loved his music and every time I hear one of his songs I think to myself ''what if Lady Gaga were to sing one of his songs'' I thought that if she were to listen to his words and music she would love his work as much as I have.
So here I am, as we Irish would say, chancing my arm, hoping that by some remote chance that my Lady Gaga may come across this. I love the idea of her discovering Clifford T. Ward, listening to his music and thinking ''WOW!'
And, you never know.
