This song reminds me of something referenced in Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger, where Franny is discussing a book she's reading, and a pilgrim is exploring ways of praying incessantly. Long story short, she says how the pilgrim learns that the 'prayer' becomes self-active, and, in the words of Franny:
"I don't know what, but something happens, and the words get synchronized with the person's heartbeats... Which has a really tremendous, mystical effect on your whole outlook. I mean that's the whole point of it, more or less. I mean you do it to get an absolutely new concept of what everything's about."
My point being, if people repeat things enough, it becomes like second nature to people - we're BORN being used to breathing, and we do it without even realising. To me, this may be what he means when he says "I'm in your mind, I'm singing La-da La-da La-da La-da La-da La-da Da" - this repetition is a coping mechanism for the world, and becomes a way of life for these people, similar to a prayer.
With this repetition, the changing of perspective occurs:
"Nowhere were they holy
Open up your eyes and see
The clouds above will hold you
The clouds above will sing."
Though something/someone you used to believe in may have faltered in your perspective and faith, there's so much else if you just open up your eyes. This world - this universe, even - isn't one dimensional, and if you open your mind, you'll come to grasp that and maybe even learn to cope better with things.
Though in a rough patch in life you may feel like it's never going to change, through time and learning and growing from the situation, you'll find your own "La-da La-da La-da La-da La-da La-da Da", something Tyler probably learnt first hand with his own life experiences.
