I believe the song is about a girl, Lorde maybe, but at the start it's like she's a complete outcast, a loser. "The card games and ease with the bitter salt of blood" this line is kind of hinting to she gets bullied "I'm sick of words that hang above my head What about the kid? It's time the kid got free" she's most likely labeled a loser and she's growing up and she doesn't want to be the "kid".
"Be a part of the love club
Everything will glow for you" I imagine someone or something telling her be popular everything will be so much more easier for you.
"I joined the club and it's all on
There are fights for being my best friend" She joined the popular clique and she's like the Regina George of the school, everyone loves her.
"The other day I forgot my old address
I'm sitting pretty on the throne" She values appearance more than intelligence because everyone loves an air head.
"There's nothing more I want
Except to be alone" She has everything she ever wanted but now she wants privacy and she's growing tired of "The Love Club".
"Your clothes are soaked and you don't know where to go
So drop your chin and take yourself back home
And roll out your maps and papers
Find out your hiding places again" This is the in a way a self realization, she's standing alone in the rain figuring what she wants to do. She's finding herself and forgetting the caricature she had created finding her way to her old friends.
"The only problem that I got with the club
Is how you're severed from the people who watched you grow up
When you're a member go on your great adventure again
They will be waiting at the end" The problem she had with popularity was leaving her old friends. She decides to go with her old friends "people who watched you grow up" and leave the popular clique behind. Her friends are waiting for her "they will be waiting at the end".
"Be a part of the love club
Everything will glow for you
You'll get punched for the love club
For the love club" I see this last line as irony because her group of losers ended up being the true "Love Club".
