This song is pretty much a view of how Porter views EDM, specifically the type of music that is popular these days. The first verse is referencing to his older days, how they have "always known one another".
When he says "hear what I hear", this garbled mess of "music" comes on. This is what Porter views as what mainstream EDM, especially electro, has become. However, he mentions that this "ugliness" will soon die out and be gone.
He cries for all that is beautiful, that being what electronic music can sound like when you really try. That's what the final section is showing. The beautiful nature of electronic music.
