| Lorde – The Love Club Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think this song is about fame, and the "love club" is celebrity. Lorde has been making music since she was very young, but now she's getting internationally recognized, and I think this is one of the songs about her newfound celebrity status (one of the other ones being Royals, in which she talks a lot about the party lifestyle but says things like "we didn't come for money"). That's where the "there are fights for being my best friend" and "there's nothing more I want, except to be alone" things come in. The "wicked kids" are other celebs and forgetting her old address could be a very literal thing due to touring. Also "The only problem that I got with the club is how you're severed from the people who watched you grow up" seems like a problem faced by celebrities. Lastly, "everything will glow for you" is a comment on the easy lifestyle of those with fame and fortune. I am curious, however, as to the meaning behind "punched." The only double meaning I can think of is intoxicated, but I'm not sure/am still looking up New Zealand slang. | |

I'm pretty sure the song is making some reference to Sweeney Todd because of "all the barbershops and funeral-homes were open" and "then they'd get themselves a little hair cut and then promptly after they'd be dead" and the "drunk girl" she was referring to may have been Todd's wife Lucy who went insane and bothered everyone but they all ignored her. Not positive, but the lyrics just make me think of Sweeney Todd. |
