Nice double post, Rachel. ^_^ I have a completely different opinion about this song. I think it's about being famous, and never getting a break. 'Now, what will they say?', might refer to the press. Also, 'Wrapped up in a New York magazine', makes that sort of reference. 'Let me down slow' and 'Even giants have to watch how they decline', might refer to slowly disspearing from the radar. Not being popular anymore. Of course, I may be completely wrong. ;)
@greened It does feel like this song is about someone trapped in the public eye, and I find the lyrics, "Was that the page that tells how I was falling?" interesting because it sounds like someone else is there with them commiserating or relating their shared experience with celebrity.

"Even giants have to watch how they decline..." is really interesting: even those who create the spectacle of their missteps have to watch the spectacle themselves: The people being watched are also watching themselves.
