The waltz is a playful piece like Chopin's Valse du Petit Chien. Don't forget that New Cap City is basically a game, a world wherein youngsters rule (like the droogs in Clockwork Orange). I don't think that the music was meant to point that Zoe was lost indeed, but she's still a lost kid, and kids are very cruel and dangerous especially when they play...or fight. New Cap City is actually the perfect world for a lost kid (remember how out of place Joseph was in there?).
This makes me think of the first cylons. They are "the children of humanity", kids turned into soldiers (and as Cyrus said, all that the military wanted was robots that could fight)...hence deadly!
PS: Zoe controlling others is very Matrix-like, not my favourite bit.
