Lux is a measure of luminous flux or the total amount of visible light present. (or a slang for luxury)
400 lux is the amount of light at sunrise or sunset on a clear day. And if you paid attention
to the lyrics in the song, you may get that she is talking about her and her childhood crush/friend
pretending to be adults (on a clear day). "We're hollow like the bottles that we drain"
The bottles are empty like their minds. A child doesn't have much to think about they just do things
for the moment and her and her friend are pretending to drink, "I like these roads where the houses
don't change" They are pretending to be driving! They haven't moved from where they were it's all their
game. The whole of the first verse in the song shows how idle they both are and that's how children are,
they have nothing to do: No responsibilities. "Dreams of clean teeth". Lorde has a song called "White Teeth Teens"
about the popular kids in school and this could be a reference to this, wishing they were popular. I could go on and on but
I will stop there, you try to figure the rest out.
