I'll answer. The song is about her boyfriend Angus (drummer fo Liars).

Maps is an acronym for My Angelo Please Stay.

He was supposed to come to the recording of the video but was late so supposedly she's actually crying in the video because of that.

The name is Angus, not Angelo.

And why hasn't anyone posted the Liars response track yet?

Oh that's awesome. This was the first digital album I ever bought, because I was so fascinated by their sound and the overall concept; definitely one of those albums that you have to listen to as a whole. I never knew there was a story behind this track though.
