I wonder if Oberst is referring to the switch that the character Brick from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof referred to. Brick (Paul Newman) was an alcoholic who tried to numb the pain of his best friends passing by drinking until the "switch" in his head was hit, meaning he could finally feel at peace with himself.
Brick: It's like a switch, clickin' off in my head. Turns the hot light off and the cool one on.
It would be so cool if Oberst was inspired by this ahahha
