You know when you feel so alone in the middle of an existential crisis? I think this song could be about any kind of vice, an abusive relationship or even of joining a drug dealing violent gang. It could really be about anything, like when you trade everything for just a little bit of fun. Joining this "club" was fun when you first started doing it (maybe drugs, maybe when you started going out with somebody, maybe you started gambling and you were winning) thats why Lorde says :Be part of the love club, everything will glow for you" sounds inviting right?
but then everything turns around and it starts getting out of control (youve become an addict, the relationship turned out abusive and leeched you dry, you gambled all your money) and now youre hitting rock bottom even though you were even in "the throne" and have to become humble to get your family back and all your life like before.
It puts so much emphasis in "you'll get punched for the love club, for the love club" that at the end what the stupid metaphorical "love club" wasn't even what YOU wanted in the first place.
