I'm possibly interpreting it too literally, but might it not be about Beethoven on his deathbed? The line "Black sky in the daytime" certainly ties in with the description of the day Beethoven died:

"That day was tragic. There were heavy clouds in the sky… around 4 or 5 in the afternoon the murky clouds cast darkness in the entire room."

And Moz has mentioned the great man in an album title before!
