This song is about Scarlett Johanson, the famous hollywood actress (Lost in Translation is probably her most successful movie.) She was Jack Antonoff's (singer of Steel Train) girlfriend, but they broke up.
It's quite obvious with certain lines such as:
"This girl, she had it kinda sweet
Till fame swept her off her feet"
"Hey Scarlet, you're not the same"
"So I flew West to see her part
Two weeks since the music died
I watch the camera shoot this girl"
and finally referring back to her leaving Jack(or vice versa, I'm not sure of the details of their breakup)
