The song is clearly about a drag queen nicknamed Celeste or Celestial, the "leather and chains" are themes from BDSM and gay culture in general. The shades mentioned are heavy makeup, the narrator is "out of place", "out of his mind", he feels like that's "no place for one of his kind" and he rationalizes that "it meant nothing" to deal with his own prejudices over his romantic encounter with this "queen" that "came from the dark" and was "born into the night", since during the day Celeste was probably just a man living a "normal" life.
