Ribs Lyrics

Cover art for Ribs lyrics by Lorde

To me, this song is about having fallen in love with your best friend. And as you two have grown older, you've drifted more and more apart - the fact that you have scares you. Laughing, being friends, and sharing a bed will never be enough for you, because you're in love with the other.

My Interpretation

I think you've nailed it. I was guessing it was about an older lover... but after I read your post I am corrected. Good job. Seeing her play in Portland on Dec 3. Can't wait!
