What's the exact meaning of "we rip the start" in Lorde's song?
"This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name,
Now they whisper it,
I'm speeding up
And this is the
Red orange yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart.
We rip the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars the's so much down here
So I just try keep up with the
Red orange yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart"*theRE's so much down here

"RIP the start" = to start something that you know will finish you.
The song is ambiguously describing a heroin hit.
