That's one interpretation, and a rather good one. My own is that "stars will drop out of the sky" is a reference to fallen angels; specifically, the angel referenced in the song ("born an angel heaven sent"). With regards to the moon, I interpreted it as Summer's sacrifice being pretty much unknown. There were none to watch it but the moon in the sky. And if Summer was an angel who fell from grace (a star that dropped out of the sky), then perhaps that would explain the moon feeling sadness over her death. However, with regards to sadness, there are many interpretations as to what that could mean. It could mean sadness at her death, or it could mean sadness at the circumstances of her death. It could be utter grief, or it could be the small sadness you feel when someone does something for a pointless reason. There are all sorts of possibilities.

As for Ruby, you've certainly got some good points, but Ruby's got that mentality where she's perfectly willing to sacrifice her life for the greater good. If she found out her mother sacrificed herself for others, Ruby would probably be proud; now, I don't know that for sure, and that's mainly because we haven't seen (at all) a dark side to Ruby. Who knows? We might in the future, but as it is, I don't think this song fits her personality.

Still, it's always a possibility...

Oh, and thanks for the praise. I have a lot of fun with these song analyses. I'm glad people like them.
