Does anyone know the story behind the lyrics?

the song is fantastic and the words are so intriguing, I'd love to know what it's all about!!

According to some so called journalist in the NME: 


 "Essentially, it's a love song, Okereke serenading his "beloved polar bear" over balletic crests of guitar. But - and here's the rub - it's a story about love's glimmer fading. As ever with Bloc, it's a song that poses questions it pointedly refuses to answer; sometimes, you see, it's better that way. When it peaks, though, you'll understand: "They say be brave/There's a right way and a wrong way" coos Kele, on the lip of a pulsing, disco-tinged chorus that chisels beautiful shapes out of their icy resolve. Strong words, softly spoken."

Although Kele hasn't confirmed or denied this....
