I'm pretty sure the song is just decribing a conversation about smoke.
He says its just smoke. Other person entertains that its the hair of ghosts (wouldn't that look like smoke?). He returns that its the white hair of poseidon and adds in more imagery. It starts to turn into a convo about religion. Shroud of Turin talk is about whether its the sun that wore it white and the earth that wore it thin or if its the son (of God... Jesus) that wore it white and his faith that wore it thin. Basically if religion is real or not, or at least the shroud of turin. But the smoke is made up of the shroud of turin and its being unravelled by tiny invisible birds that are struggling to make it rise.
Of course this is defined by chaos because of how smoke does rise. Then the whole chaos is luck, luck is love, and love is blind thing comes up and basically he is trying to logically tie chaos to being blind through luck and love in turn.
The next couple of verses I can't make too much sense of. I just think of it like... people need each other to survive. Maybe he's tying that to those birds and their chaos.
Anyways, in the end when he's saying so I say oh I see now its just smoke... he's either talking about the smoke really just being smoke or that the conversation is really just smoke because it doesn't really mean anything and isn't really meant to.
