this is the release of tension. throughout the right disc of the fragile, the narrator is in a struggle between his two halves - the half trying to overcome and move beyond the loss in the left disc, and the half that wants to give in to the grief and become lost in sorrow. the big come down represents freud's death instinct, or the instinct to take apart what has been put together.
