It may have been more about Edie Swdgwick than anyone. She flamed out more spectacularly than any of the Factory hangers-on, the lyrics seem to epitomize her existence at the time. She burned through her inheritance in no time flat while she was there.
@doctor That’s how I see it - it’s about Edie Sedgwick. The lyrics may refer to others of TheFactory Demimonde, you can take some of the lyrics as referring to “cross-dressing”, and Candy Darling, Jackie Curtis, Holly Woodlawn, et al, could be the subject, but I think the reason it’s about Edie is that, by outward appearance, she seemed to have the most going for her, but she was not a happy person, and she soaked up all the drugs she could get her hands on. She probably had no idea who or what she was. Not unlike a quote...

Not unlike a quote I’ve heard about Marilyn Monroe, that she wouldn’t laugh at a joke until she saw somebody else laughing first, she was so terrified of saying or doing the wrong thing because she didn’t value herself, possibly due to a difficult childhood.
To yearn to “belong”, but having no idea how to learn to value yourself, thus you can’t really value anything else - it’s more common than we believe, and it’s scary to feel so alone when you see others who DO have the ability to “get over themselves” - is really terrifying. I’d imagine it’s especially scary to have others tell you, and act around you, like you have so much to live for, that you’re LUCKY, but to never FEEL that way. To be a “star”, having others “worship” you, but having no clue as to WHY...to feel the opposite of how others see you...
