Nah, it's about writing songs. Ed basically said that was the case when he was interviewed in the lead up the album. Songwriting sometimes hits you like a lightning bolt.
I think this song is about that and the issues that come with it. About focusing on so much on certain issues, while others grow around you. Hence, you have the dynamic relationship described in the song where the lightning bolt is somehow destroying the person that loves it. That sort of thing....
It's actually a pretty great lyrical song, if this interp is correct.
