Ribs Lyrics

I think this song is about growing up and starting to feel alone and different as you get older

My Interpretation

I think you are right, but leaving out the significance of her friendship with the other... whether it be romantic love or just childhood best friend. The "Lover's Spit" reference also pegs this as referring to Lorde's childhood, which only ended a few years ago.
