We wouldn't be seen dead here in the day yeah
I guess you're lucky that it's dark now
And if I like it then we'll stay
Impress the empress, take a shot now
We got the glow in our mouths
White teeth teens are out
White teeth teens are
Up for it
I know you love it when the hairpins started to drop
I like your reckoning
But we got our methods and there's nothing here to stop
To stop this
If you want we'll help tonight to split his schemes
Give the bruises out like gifts
You'll get the picture of your dreams
I won't be smiling but the notes from my admirers
Fill my dashboard just the same
We got the glow in our mouths
White teeth teens are out
White teeth teens are
Up for it
I know you love it when the hairpins start to drop
I like your reckoning,
But we got our methods and there's nothing here to stop
To stop this when we're
Up for it
I know you love it when the hairpins start to drop
I like your reckoning,
But we got our methods and there's nothing here to stop
To stop this
(And everything works out so good)
(I wear the robe like no one could)
I'll let you in on something big
I am not a white teeth teen
I tried to join but never did
The way they are, the way they seem is something else, it's in the blood
Their molars blinking like the lights, in the underpass where we all sit
And do nothing and love it
And everything works out so good
I wear the robe like no one could
And everything works out so good
I wear the robe like no one could
And everything works out so good
I wear the robe like no one could
(White teeth teens are out)
And everything works out so good
(I wear the robe like no one could)
White teeth teens are out
I guess you're lucky that it's dark now
And if I like it then we'll stay
Impress the empress, take a shot now
We got the glow in our mouths
White teeth teens are out
White teeth teens are
Up for it
I know you love it when the hairpins started to drop
I like your reckoning
But we got our methods and there's nothing here to stop
To stop this
If you want we'll help tonight to split his schemes
Give the bruises out like gifts
You'll get the picture of your dreams
I won't be smiling but the notes from my admirers
Fill my dashboard just the same
We got the glow in our mouths
White teeth teens are out
White teeth teens are
Up for it
I know you love it when the hairpins start to drop
I like your reckoning,
But we got our methods and there's nothing here to stop
To stop this when we're
Up for it
I know you love it when the hairpins start to drop
I like your reckoning,
But we got our methods and there's nothing here to stop
To stop this
(And everything works out so good)
(I wear the robe like no one could)
I'll let you in on something big
I am not a white teeth teen
I tried to join but never did
The way they are, the way they seem is something else, it's in the blood
Their molars blinking like the lights, in the underpass where we all sit
And do nothing and love it
And everything works out so good
I wear the robe like no one could
And everything works out so good
I wear the robe like no one could
And everything works out so good
I wear the robe like no one could
(White teeth teens are out)
And everything works out so good
(I wear the robe like no one could)
White teeth teens are out

I just played this song on the piano and felt I understood the lyrics very suddenly considering I've listened to it many, many times.
"We wouldn't be seen dead here in the day yeah"
Spoiler alert: Lorde is not a white teeth teen. She's saying we party in the dark we we are less insecure.
"I guess you're lucky that it's dark now"
As someone who is also not a white teeth teen cough young adult IT'S A LOT EASIER TO SMILE AND FACE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE IN THE DARK.
"And if I like it then we'll stay"
She's the empress of a circle, but she never joined the white teeth teens. Her friends have a glow that comes from authenticity, it's not about have perfect teeth.
"We got the glow in our mouths White teeth teens are out"
Out? Like out of the big picture?
"I like your reckoning But we got our methods and there's nothing here to stop" I definitely think shes talking to the white teeth teens and defending the authenticity of her group.
"You'll get the picture of your dreams I won't be smiling but the notes from my admirers Fill my dashboard just the same" Not only can she smile when she wants to without perfect teeth, but she isnt going to smile to compete for attention, and she doesn't need to.
"I'll let you in on something big I am not a white teeth teen I tried to join but never did"
"The way they are, the way they seem is something else, it's in the blood Their molars blinking like the lights,"
She's talking about where the real glow comes from.
"in the underpass where we all sit And do nothing and love it"
I still think this is an all inclusive glow. That's the whole point! I love this song.
