Lyric discussion by airtightgarage 

I thought this was about a child describing a mystical experience with a being like St. Michael. A parent scolds him for these absurd beliefs that are real to the child. The child wants to be reunited with the being but will have to spend time "downstairs" (ie on earth) first. It reminds me of the story of young Percival first encountering the knights, which inspires him to begin his spiritual journey becoming a knight.
