This song is about former lovers that run into each other. One has gone on to achieve fame, and the other is saying that he knows the truth about how the person really is. Underneath all the veneer, she is just a child, as is he. Here's my translation of this terrific song.

Cause I know which way you run
You're a child my love
I feel the same
The leather lung won't speak my name
Now even rats would jump this ship
