Streetlight People

People who are hoping for a better life. They stay up at night, walking around the streets, sitting under streetlights, hoping for a better life.

this confirms that this song is being sung from the perspective of Billie’s abuser. it explains the tone of the song, and completely changes the way you look at it. Lines like “If you find it hard to swallow, I can loosen up your collar, ‘Cause, as long as you’re still breathing, Don’t you even think of leaving” make it very overwhelmingly clear that this is the perspective Billie is portraying

Also, while some people think the Spotify interview thing from the lyric version disproves this, it just doesn’t. She says the song was made to be “insane live”, not a fun song in terms of concept. She said she was going through crazy feelings at the time and you’d understand if you looked at the lyrics, but doesn’t say what the feelings were. On an album where Billie is venting about her trauma, a song like this would have no place in the project. I don’t know how she could have made this more obvious then by saying me and you are both the same

Prep

"Prep" is short for "preparatory." But unless you are doing "kitchen prep" before making a meal or getting ready for a test, the word usually refers to people who look like they could belong to the elite world of American preparatory schools.

The old-time New England prep schools--Andover, Phillips Exeter, Hotchkiss, etc.-- modeled themselves on English "public" schools like Eton (where Prince William graduated and Prince Harry still studies). The idea was to prepare the children of wealthy, WASP (white Anglo-Saxon Protestant) families for top colleges and life in the upper crust of society.

At this point, you don't have to be a WASP or travel to New England to go to prep school, and you certainly don't need to go to "prep" school to be labeled a "prep." Nowadays, it's more about how you look: understated but classic, wearing khakis maybe, and always lots of cotton. "Preppy" fashion is famously low-key because it is inspired by a class of people who don't care to flaunt their wealth. (Except for the not-so-subtle message of wearing clothes that suggest constant skiing, tennis and sailing--and the occasional loud plaid or hot pink.)

When the term "preppy" developed in the 1960s, it was with a mix of awe and annoyance. What was not to like about the clean-cut looks and the tastes of the "old money" prep-school crowd? But they were so insular, so spoiled...

Preppy pride soared in the conservative '80s, when Lisa Birnbach published "The Official Preppy Handbook," which extolled the joys of living among the best and brightest while dressed in navy blue and kelly green. Birnbach was kind of kidding, but a backlash followed with books like "101 Uses for a Dead Preppie" and the "I Hate Preppies Handbook."

Preps and their trappings have made a lot of enemies along the way. "The Catcher in the Rye"'s Holden Caulfield railed against the "fakes" at his New England prep school and ran away to the less stifling confines of New York City. Hip-hop's embrace of Tommy Hilfiger and other preppy brands has always been part poking fun at the status quo, part appreciation of the quality.

Meanwhile, there always seems to be a preppy fashion moment around the corner...
