Cover art for Lion's Jaws lyrics by Neko Case

Its strange she uses divine, which has religious connotations, then in the next sentence uses the word estimate, which has more science/mathematics connotations. She seems to say that neither faith/revelation or reason are capable of understanding her situation.

The lion's jaw could refer to some kind of persecution she experienced or thought she experienced.

I thought the ending was a more existential look at life and nature/universe. Her broken heart has shattered her views of nature an now she once saw it. Now, disillusioned, she sees nature and her life as having only a circular purpose, "momentum for the sake of momentum".
