Perhaps the lilikoi metaphor is more about the way the lilikoi grows? The vines are unruly and can grow (move) quite fast and they also obviously have a wild quality.
"Electricity wires are down, rainbow colours fade into brown" could also be a direct reference to the physical qualities of vines.
"Courageous boy, now you are gone
And run faster, yet have no place to go
Your spirit still burns, it's now a ghost sun"
The fruit of the lilikoi looks like a sun, so obviously when the plant has spread as much as it can (and has no place to go) and the plant dies, the ghost sun could be the ghost of the sun (fruit) that once existed.
Anyways. Interpretations are always subjective, but this works for me.
