i feel like this song is about someone who was abandoned by a loved one and its been years since they have last seen eachother and that person whos been abandoned see's the abandenor in a public place after so long and the abandenor acknowleges the abandond person as if it was normal but really the person who has been abandond is angry because its been so long.
"dissapeared from public places never seen agian, how long has it been? how long has it been?!". notice the second time when Anthony Green sings "how long has it been?!" he sings it very angry and sad, which to me reflects on how that person is feeling.
