I agree with those interpretations which state that this song is about a quite cold crude critic to that feeling, most times stupid and cheesy of being too in love...
The whole picture of the song is so clear and beautiful in its narrative tough... people pointing with their fingers to the moon at midnight possibly saying words like "oh look how beautiful the moon is tonight, just like you darling..." you know the typical hollywood love scene line a teenager would say. And anyway the moon is a big question mark, that is something quite impersonal objet just graviting the universe, and which millions of pepole imply tons of stupid methapores at it. The Elliott reflection is like Ok that big satellite is just there possibly when millions of couples just collide with each other, the narrator on that line places the moon as the main caharacter in the narrative so it sees this people imperssonaly, just colliding like idiots falling in love for each other...
The "names you drop..." line is also another nausea critc to the names people in love or poets put to the moon when they're in love, a big silver "x" a huge sun in the night, whatever... even Elliott called it a "Big Bulb Breaking", the ice on his veins is precisely him feeling totally disconected of that stupid love-falling feeling.
The "call it lovers moon strange" line, also agree is the center of the narrative, as depicts a total disconection with the moon as a love methaphoric subject. Then, "because it acts like the lovers do" agree with the comment that says that the moon only show us his lighted surface and not the darkened one, like mst people even those too deep in love won't dare to show their darkest parts to their lovers....
Then the closing line "a burned out world staying up all night" is totally brutal. Because is another quite precise depiction of the moon, which is literaly "burning" without atmosphere in the bright side at hundreds of Degrees so yeah it's actually like a hell and not the stupid paradise love poets imply on their metaphores. Is staying up all night burning as a hell and people just idealizing it from their egocentric stands, just like the lovers would do at each other.
