I think the "lightning bolt" represents divine inspiration, and how he learnt to "jump" on that path and not just "stand" there. Supporting this divine notion, are the many "skyward" glances, as well as the mention of angels and water/wine. I believe the "her" is symbolic of this divine "lightning" and how action is required to not be tortured with what could have been. Fortune, love, good-times, they come like flashes of brilliance.
