Not that this means anything, I know it's probabably irrelevant, but one of the three wise men was called Balthazar, which would also give a new dimension to the 'fallen star' line following - perhaps a reference to lost faith in Jesus/religion. I don't pretend to know too much about Placebo songs, I try to appreciate the lyrics but with the ambiguity they could mean a number of different things. They are beautiful because they can mean different things to different people.
