i think lordfinx had a fantastic breakdown of the song. To add, regarding the verses: "Sometimes I see your face, The stars seem to lose their place Why must I think of you?"

Maybe it's a reference to why he's alone and a bit lost. He speaks of "why would North be True?" before, as if that's his navigation with the Dog Star. Then he mentions when he see's this person's face the stars seem to lose their place, maybe North really isn't truw, as if he loses his focus and where he's going (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually?) when it comes to this person. Things stop making sense which is a lot of what someone feels when they lose someone whether it's a loss in death or a loss of a love.

What i find very interesting, and this may be delving too deep, is that The Dog Star has a companion star, they perpetually revolve around eachother....
