I read this quote once from Stephan that I just had to find again...
"Background" is about .... Let me put it this way: Have you ever felt like your life was in high gear, and you were right in the moment, and you were happy, and rolling into some glorious unknown future ? And then have that all taken away? And .. then lived in sort of the post-period of that high? That's what it's like to live in the background."
This song may be about one specific situation, but it can also relate to any time you felt like everything was right and you were yourself and with people who really loved you...and then to suddenly not have that anymore. very hard to deal with. you feel like you are half-living for a while b/c of whatever/whoever/a time period you are missing so much.
