I've thought and thought about the name Caspian, and I don't know why they picked it. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the sea or Prince Caspian from The Chronicles of Narnia.
That said, my interpretion is this: it's about love. People are afraid of hurting themselves by getting too close to other people ("killing himself by looking closer"), so they build up fortresses (castles) and go around acting like tyrants because they're locking their emotions away in self-defense. But Love (in the form of Caspian, the love veteran?) breaks all fortresses and heals/remakes the world that is trying so hard to ward Love off.
Sometimes I like to just listen to the Velvet Teen without thinking too hard about what they're singing.
