i know the person who inspired the song; my friend went to one of his concerts and got to hang with him backstage after it was over. they started to make out, etc. and he (Duncan) kind of got pissed that she didn't want to 'go further'. but she laughed and gave him the ultimate reality check: "hate to steal your thunder but you ain't nothing special. you're no more celestial than anyone else" (that is what she said to him and i can kind of see that b/c she has a habit of using words like "celestial" in unusual ways in normal speech). the rest of the song he built around that fleeting experience. so yes, the song is about him and based on this flash of realization.
