I saw Sufjan live in Salt Lake, and he described a feeling that he got when he saw bodies of water such as the Great Salt Lake, or Crater Lake, or Niagra Falls, just when the sun is hitting theme exactly right, and you see this mesh of beautiful colors. He talked about how when he sees that kind of a majestic view, he just wants to, like...merge with it, to be part of something huge, that's so beautiful--just to jump in and become part of it. Then he said that the next song is kind of about that feeling, of wanting to jump in and be part of something huge, and played Vesuvius.
He explained it in the same way during a show in Denver. The only thing I would add is that he specifically mentioned the desire, even momentarily, to be destroyed by this beautiful force.
