Wait 'til you're announced
We've not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon Your Greatness and She'll
Send the call out, send the call out
Send the call out, send the call out
Send the call out, send the call out
Send the call out, send the call out
Send the call out, send the call out
Send the call out, send the call out
Send the call out, send the call out
Send the call out, send the call out

Call all the ladies out
They're in their finery
A hundred jewels on throats
A hundred jewels between teeth
Now bring my boys in
Their skin in craters like the moon
The moon we love like a brother
While he glows through the room

Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well, ah
Even the comatose
They don't dance and tell

We live in cities you'll never see on-screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team

I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there

So all the cups got broke
Shards beneath our feet
But it wasn't my fault
And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive
'Cause what this palace wants is release

We live in cities you'll never see on-screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team

I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
I'm kind of older than I was when I reveled without a care
So there

We live in cities you'll never see on-screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team

We're on each other's team
And you know we're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
And you know, and you know, and you know

    Well, to start with, the name Lorde is referring to Lucifer as being the ruler of this world. "Wait 'til you're announced. We've not yet lost all our graces.The hounds will stay in chains. Look upon your greatness and she'll send the call out Send the call out." means that Satan will call upon u through his music artists like Lorde. He and his fallen angels still have powers even though God bound them in chains in the Earth. "Call all the ladies out, they're in their finery.A hundred jewels on throats.A hundred jewels between teeth.Now bring my boys in, their skin in craters like the moon.The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room.Dancin' around the lies we tell.Dancin' around big eyes as well.Even the comatose, they don't dance and tell" is talking about the illuminati and their fancy parties and how they keep secrets, etc. "I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air. So there.I'm kind of older than I was when I reveled without a care. So there." means that Satan is tired of people telling him to give up cuz he will ultimately lose to Jesus. Satan recognizes that he was pretty wild and harsh and that he has matured since his younger days when he first reveled with rebellion against God. "We live in cities you'll never see onscreen.Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things.Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams.And you know we're on each other's team." means that you won't ever see where Satan and his fallen angels are locked away and that even though they won't have a palace of their dreams, they can still run things effectively and live vicariously through evil men with what his wicked dreams are for us and that they are on each others team until the end.. "So all the cups got broke.Shards beneath our feet.But it wasn't my fault.And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive Cause what this palace wants is release." means that Satan is saying it isn't his fault but Gods fault that he is against us humans. And that you won't ever receive Satan's love, because he wants to release his wrath on us. He hates us... Just so you know, I am NOT a Christian and I am bullshitting about this interpretation. haha. I was trying to look at this from a Christian conspiracy theory perspective. hahaha. Got ya!
