This song seems to be a reflection on solipsism. That is the notion that only one's own mind is sure to exist. This is evident in several lines:
"Are their patterns in the skies? / Are the patterns only in our eyes?" - Questioning the reality of what he sees and his tendency to look for meaning in the stars.
"Or is a constellation just a constellation? / Is a constellation just a consolation?" - Again questioning if the stars are real or if they are just an illusion to console his mind.
"Just like twinkling stars, we seem connected / But i know that a constellation is just a constellation / A constellation is just a consolation" - Reflecting on the perception of being connected to other humans and reflecting that this too may just be an illusion of the mind.
All in all a pretty deep song given how simple it sounds on first listening!
