Looking at this 4 years later, I have changed my mind again. Maybe diamond matter is vodka or tears. Maybe this is about the hardship of life and there are references to alcohol use (blind by daybreak, bottle on the fire), perhaps used as a coping mechanism. But the main reason why I have changed my mind about the meaning, is because of that line 'a tiny part remains'. What does that mean?
Perhaps Jon is referring to 'the big crunch', this idea that the universe will eventually collapse into itself, a reversal of the apparent expansion of the universe. It is theorised that this 'tiny part' will then explode again, another big bang, and the cycle repeats.
