Hole – Old Age Lyrics 14 years ago
was houseofclouds the only one to explain the lyrics?

No one knows she's Hester Prynne
Someone please tell Anne Boleyn
Chokers are back in again

Hester Prynne; particularly known for being a "truly liberated, defiantly sexual" character of her time.
Anne Boleyn; accused of adultery and incest in 1536.
My shallow guess:
Character in the song (possibly Courtney, as houseofclouds interpretation would also imply) is secretly a whore, and an impending goth (choker reference?).
It seems as though she's floating through life ("friendless", "pretend to have no rivals") with little self-esteem, getting closer death every day , which will be her ultimate and final rebellion ("one day she will just refuse", maybe suicide?).
Will not reach old age.
