Follow-up:
The repetitive claps in the song might possibly involve the theme of 'synchronization' (people clapping hands together) -- continuous attempts by this guy/girl to 'synchronize' the real personality of his/her ex and the emulated personality of the 'persona'.
Such attempts at synchronization could partly comprise the effort of extrapolating this 'persona' of his/her ex from past memories of him/her, as well as the effort of integrating the 'persona' into new personal experiences.
These efforts could ensure the survival of the 'persona' as a semi-living entity rather than a dead (inanimate) memory.
The monotony and precise rhythm of the clapping could (but I am not sure) possibly be a depiction of the synthetic/mechanical/unnatural nature of these attempts to create a semi-living thing (the 'persona') from past (semi-dead) memories of the ex-boyfriend/girlfriend.
The song title itself, "stars and sons", might be a reference to the above idea of 'creation', which is similar to the creation of stars from disparate matter, or the creation of children from disparate biological matter.
The fluid and wave-like 'in-out' melody of the bass line might be a reference to intercourse and procreation.
Interestingly, the song seems to refer not just to actual intercourse and procreation, but seems to extrapolate these processes onto psychology (intermixing/conjoining of ideological substances/artifacts; creation of personas).
Thus, it seems to mirror the necessity of physiological and cosmological sexuality (involving the physical body and the physical matter of stellar material) with a similar level of necessity for metaphysical and psychological sexuality (involving the mind, vis the creation of the hypothetical 'persona' from the raw material of information/memories/thoughts/feelings).
I don't know why no one has commented on this. I hope you are still active on here. This is the most amazing and in depth analysis I have read. I hope you have written more. I feel like a stuttering fan coming face to face with a celebrity trying to reply to this. You truly have an uncanny ability to dissect every element of a song. I am just in awe. Thank you for your contribution.

This is the most, or one of the most, ridiculous things I have ever read.
