This song is, on the surface, about Edie Sedgwick of Andy Warhol fame, and her quick rise to fame, the consumption of her persona by users and posers, and her ultimate demise after losing herself...
Ian Astbury has said he identified very much with Edie's life and how she got caught up in it all-- used and abused-- and wrote the song about himself.
