Lyric discussion by gofuckyourself 

This is about people betraying their beliefs for peace of mind and safety. I think the title is maybe a reference to Communism. This person believed we should all live equally, but betrayed those beliefs out of fear of the government.

"The police high beam froze her perfect face"

Its modern... therefore its not about Communism. The Red Star is a political term for someone that stands out... like a red star stands out and dwarfs other stars in the sky

how do the lyrics being modern mean they are not about communism? communism still exists...

LOL
