Quite simply, this song is about pulling in a club, and the ultimate goal of this being sex.
Everything supports this.
You can't pull a member of the opposite sex by being second best, you have to be the very best.
"Lord give me grace and dancing feet
And the power to impress
Lord give me grace and dancing feet
Let me outshine the moon"
I'm attracted to girls who can dance well- I don't give a second look at the girl who's slow dancing out of time in the middle of a rave. He therefore prays to God to "impress" the girls (boys in kele's case) with his "dancing feet". He needs to be noticed, and what is more noticeable than an extra bright dancing moon?
"Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you"
As previously mentioned, he needs to be the best to get the person's attention. In reference to "more that is given to you" I think that it's either that you just get checked out or get a kiss without anything else coming your way.
As for the chorus, he wants to be unstoppable (in sexual terms, I think that this is pretty self-explanatory, if you catch my drift), and wants to use his "wit" and "charm" to attract the attention.
I won't go into any more detail apart from the "claiming what's mine". If you follow my theory, then he has already got a person who he wants in mind, and wants to "claim" them.
I know that songs are all about personal interpretation, so don't go by what I say.
