Cover art for 400 Lux lyrics by Lorde

The song is about two addicts, not really close but friendly enough, that make drugs together. But as they start caring for each other one worries for the health of the other and they can see that what they're doing is wrong. In the end his friendship replaces the need for the drug. Lorde keeps highlighting the phrase "I like you" meaning that him, who symbolizes a life full of love, is more important than the drug. Therefore a steady and reliable friend is a necessary good.
