Cover art for Different Stars lyrics by Trespassers William

it is about unrequited love. but its an unrequited love that used to be requited.

I think its similar to yeahyeahyeah's "maps" or postal service's "such great heights" which are songs about long distance relationships caused by touring.

i think its about a failed long distance relationship. darkeyes had it right using the word "captivating" this song just takes my breath away.
