my best guess at what sufjan is trying to do with this song is explain the times when he is confused about his purpose in the world. the drones in this song are chaotic and are a good representation of what would be going through someone's head if they're having an existential crisis, which means that for a short moment it feels like life has no purpose or meaning. we all know that sufjan is a very religious person, so this would be very scary and unnerving to someone of great faith.
