you didn't hear? You're Mine (Insulin) debuted at #80 on the hot 100!
You're Mine (Diabetes) actually managed to chart? Must've missed it like the rest of the planet missed the ''Buy'' on iTunes or ''Play'' on YouTube option.

prob. not directed to someone in particular. just saying she'll never become a druggie due to fame.
Apparently the song itself is an allusion to The Shining.
Quote:
First off, the title is obviously alluding to sanity, which is a central theme of the story of The Shining, since the people who live in the resort lose this. But more specifically, the lines:
"I still like hotels, but I think that'll change
Still like hotels, and my newfound fame
Hey, promise I can stay good"
The shining is about a hotel, and Lorde is touring the world with her music, spending a lot of time in hotels. Touring and fame can make a person lose it, just like the hotel in the shining made Jack go insane. He thought he could "stay good" and avoid the fate of the people who stayed in the hotel before him, but he couldn't. Lorde is hoping she can "stay good" even though she's seen so many celebrities before her go bad.
Also the line, "riding round on bikes, we're still sane" is a direct reference to the bike scene(s) in the shining where the son rides around on his little toy bike exploring the hotel. He does this innocently and this curiosity is what leads him to lose his innocence when he discovers the truth of the hotel.
