I think this song is about escaping from life's harsh realities: guilt in a breakup, pain in losing the one you love, disappointment in how little you've accomplished ("I never ever saw the Northern Lights").
Also, the clusterflies represent the banal problems we exaggerate in everyday life; only when something truly terrible happens (betraying the person you love) do we look at everything in perspective: the problems we thought were a big deal aren't even real problems.
