I love the distinct syncopated rhythm style and staccato use in their songs. Especially the drums in The Cloak. If you haven't checked Leprous out, do it. And then check out Devin Townsend.
Anyways, I had to come here because this song has a haunting and enchanting quality to it. I've tried to put an image together in my head as to what this song means. So I came here to see if anyone had some interesting thoughts, but alas. So, with only vague lyrics this is what has come up in my mind.
I think this person has developed some form of drug abuse or sexual deviancy/lust, whether for a specific person or some kind of 'intriguing' and 'shame'ful desire. It's not really clear. But what is clear is that he calls it his secret star, and feels stuck in a valley of sin.
It seems the individual thought he could keep it a secret and kept it too close. But what is kept close in secrecy, especially involving desires, usually turns into an adhesive flame. He feels his secret star has made him nonredeemable.
It sounds like despite his efforts to disguise his secret star it's easy to see that he struggles with it, and it may be pushing significant other(s) away, yet he can't leave it alone and it's stealing his joy. He has every reason to prevail over it, yet there it lies, in rivers thin, down in disguise, in his valley of sin.
