About three hours after a UK disc jockey clued the audience about the
true meaning of the Lorde song "Royals" a youtube poster commented,
moments later the comment was removed. The comment stated,

"My interpretation of this song: she's talking about mistresses. They
will never be royal (the main girl) but they will be your ruler. They
will be the queen bee for the night. They are caught up in your love
affair. And they wanna live that "fantasy"."

One of worlds leading musicologist in comments on the Lorde song Royals
from the Love Club: E.P.? Love club? Indeed.
Two things - It's in an odd meter, the songs melody creates a subliminal
hook coupled with the call and response lyric. Also you can't dance to
it? In a nutshell the youtube poster is correct. Clearly the song
alludes to Bondage and Discipline (BD), Dominance and
Submission (DS) from either a bisexual perspective or a lesbians.
No ifs ands or buts.
Many listeners repress what they don't want to hear so they construct a
false reality by validating their own perspective of wanting the song
mean about 'wanting' and 'a poor persons perspective'. But wait. The
U.S. video clearly depicts two males? One is wearing a chain around his
neck. In the domination and submission lifestyle the submissive wears a
chain. The submissive shaves his head? Clearly a homosexual submissive
ritual. There are other elements but the lyrics are equally as revealing.

Verse 1
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
[diamond in the flesh means a vagina, the singer wants you to know
that she's not a lesbian but...]

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
No post code envy
[alludes to living in a gay ghetto as a result of her lifestyle?]


Pre-Chorus
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
[Grey Goose, is one of the preferred drinks by affluent lesbians and so
forth]

Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

[Materialism for the BDSM lifestyle, she wants to be beat, disciplined
by her mistress, 'we'? Who are we? The singer is making an appeal to the
repressed homosexual, both sexes? Many straights will deny this as
they repress their true feelings.]

But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

[The lesbian dominant is too entwined in their BDSM relationship
that they'd rather not face the luxuries even though they're out of
reach by the average Joe]

Chorus
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz

[see above, the different kind of buzz is BDSM, and not caring who
thinks about what they do behind closed doors, consequently Lorde
may have cooked up her moniker by stealing from Charlie Rich's song
Behind Closed Doors]

Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule...)
Let me live that fantasy

[The singer wants her submissive to acknowledge her as queen bee
because she's a bitch and has a delusion of ruling the world. She
wants the singer Madonna? Perhaps, after all Madonna has a daughter
named Lourdes, so this Lorde wants "live that fantasy" of BDSM. Maybe
the singer is crying out to be held by the Madonna to live that fantasy
she bred in the late eighties (think Madonna's BDSM book).]

Verse 2
My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
We didn't come from money

Pre-Chorus + Chorus

[Bridge]
(Oooh ooooh ohhh)
We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen
(Oooooh ooooh ohhhhh)
Life is game without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair

This song is so narcissistic and is being used as a tool to recruit
the BDSM, lesbian and bisexual lifestyle to our youth. In other
words it's a Trojan horse. This song is a litmus test for repressed
homosexual tendencies i.e., if your girlfriend is bopping around
to this song chances are that she will munch carpets in a heartbeat.

This is the worst thing I have seen on a Google group in my life. Your analysis is so bad that even I - and i don't often like pop songs - could make a better and more accurate analysis.
However, Occasionally a good song pops up like Royals, with its unique metre and melody, and that makes pop worth listening to.

In my humble opinion this song is about being Queen of her personal life. Any reference to the sex is not the base but is just an example, heroically used as a criticism against the mass of people who is living life in order to achieve materialistic things in an exaggerated way. So I think the meaning is so simple that there's no need to recalculate things inside the words.
This song is like post hermetic kinda poetries;good combination of words as a chain of meaning in a rithmic way.
It is not so obscure to be understood,though...
We are living in an era of being obsessed by the hip hop idols...
Sometimes they sing against what they shows inside their videos.
So the message is ambigous.
This girl is just showing a more coherent thing:she is showing a not luxurious life. "To go to that party I must count money on the train..." "I am not living in a rich place... and I am happy the same ... and I can feel royal the same and be the Queen of my life and rule (why not) me or somebody the same".
