That's a very interesting interpretation Vettie-edder.. and I like your take on the constellation being "Star signs". I actually thought this was a song about Anorexia - "7 am So it beings again 1-0 (zip) favoring familiar silhouettes" which says that for anorexics.. the disease is constant and real to them, from the second they wake their weight is first thing on their mind and that is their dress size 1-0 being ideal. No protection from Urban light and envy spreading itself thin I think relates to the media and how women are portrayed and the emphasis placed on being thin - the play on words "envy can spread herself so thinly" and the final reference is the "girl disappearing" i.e. losing weight to "Some secret prison" which is a standard reference used for anorexia sufferers that their body becomes a prison.

On a completely random tangent - it could also be seen as being relevant to transgender and/or gender reasignment. A little left of centre - but you can see some relevance there.
