This song is about someone who has control issues - they try and control everything around them, but deep down, they have issues with change. The world around them keeps changing, and they are powerless to stop it. They are trying to convince themselves that it's only change and it's no big deal.
The reason they have these control issues is a changeable childhood, being moved about by Mother.
They say how they focus on details (implying their control issues extend even to the minutest detail), but eventually reflect that even atoms are changing.
Given the almost lullaby-like tone to the song, it almost feels like someone reassuring themself that change does not necessarily equal bad, trying to soothe troubled nerves and get some sleep.
