It starts by him hearing the voices of angels and knowing the world around him doesn't feel like home anymore.
The madman, although he could be a religious figure, I am more inclined to believe is this conspiracy theorist kind of dude that has an explanation for eveything with his crazy stories but turns out to sound saner and saner the more you listen to his point of view.
He asks the madman to tell him who rules the world and his reaction of laughing and walking away is that classic sage reaction of not telling someone more than they can handle.
The singer is desperate to find the answers, when he says its always here or there, he is referring to the undying question burning inside all of us the big 'why?'.
When he talks about the dear mother, hes referring to the earth and humanity as the mind. He's intrigued by the most recent turn in it's history, the short sliver of timeline that we've actually walked on it.
The simple truth that we don't seem to get it's that its right in front of us, the reason itself, God incarnate, truth in all its splendor is hid by a thin disguise of personhood; a mask everyone wears to escape the pain of higher thought.
The song is telling you where God hides. In you-me, love and miracles out of nowhere.
