Someone has commented the "papers are signed" part may refer to divorce. It could be, but I don't think so. The whole theme of the verse is the creative process ignited by feeling low.
Oh, I'm host to a guide - the feeling an artist gets when ideas flow from out of nowhere, like you are channeling them from a source other than yourself
Moving in time
Falling in line - these are direct mentions to musical writing. "Time" is the duration, accents, refers to rhythm. "Line" is where you write your choice of notes in a music sheet.
I've made up my mind - generic, it could mean a multitude of things, but in the composer's interpretation it probably means having to choose the best ideas for the song.
Papers are signed - in the same interpretation, it's the artist's signature, the work is done.
And I feel so low - still.
