IMO some others have hit this nail on the head. This song is a nod to the losses in his life & how unbelieveably they occured. His sister's death at the hands of her husband & LeRoi's untimely death due to complications from an accident.
Dave is agnostic bordering on atheistic (as am I) and writing seems to be his coping/healing mechanism. Perhaps he was depressed as some others have stated & needed to let go of some of those horrible feelings.
Makes me feel like Dave needs a big hug & lots of support from the people around him.
