First, the song is about "Maxwell Demon", the alter ego of the singer. This mirrors "Ziggy Stardust" and later "Alladin Sane"/The Thing White Duke and various other Bowie alter egos. (Maxwell's Demon is a thought experiment proposed by a physicist, Maxwell, about entropy, fyi). In particular, the title and idea of the song really reflects the song "Ziggy Stardust" from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
Likewise, the spaceship/space/deity ideas are all a pastiche of Bowie-esque stuff. For example, the story of Ziggy Stardust is about an aliens coming to earth and the rock star (Ziggy) who acts as their prophet.
Other links I see:
Six feet down at age 25 - parallels "Rock'n'Roll Suicide" from Ziggy
Came down like water/for the age of solar - i.e., Maxwell is going to extinguish the "age of solar" - see "Five Years" from Ziggy
Kiss Your Sons and Daughters Goodby - see "Starman" from Ziggy and "Oh! You Pretty Things" from Hunky Dory
There's plenty more if you can be bothered. But basically someone sat down and wrote a song with as many faux-Bowie lyrics in it as possible.
This song is obviously a Bowie tribute.

And I love it!
