I think the song is definitely about being in the "popular" clique and the pros and cons of being in it. "Be a part of the love club everything will glow for you you'll get punched for the love club" being the positive and negative things
In the first verse she talks about how before she was in the clique it was alright but with "the bitter salt of blood" meaning there were some negatives to it (maybe getting bullied)
I really like these lines in the second verse:
"The other day I forgot my old address I'm sitting pretty on the throne there's nothing more I want except to be alone" Lorde is saying that she doesn't know who she is anymore and has changed a lot "the other day I forgot my old address". Then she says how even though she's really popular she doesn't like it and just wants to be alone.
I think the end of the song is about leaving the clique and going back to who you truly are. "So drop your chin and take yourself back home and roll out your maps and papers find out your hiding places again"
