I heard in an interview, Jon Anderson say that the song was about death. That's all he mentioned. His lyrics are very special to me because he puts references to spiritual texts in his works.
I feel that he might have been reading The Tibetan Book Of The Dead at some point, because the bardo state after death is said to be like the feeling of heat and cold raining upon your head equally. It's also a state that those who have experienced Kundalini describe as an affect.
It's a powerful song.
