In an interview about this album, Sufjan talks about how he felt connected to his mother after she died by replicating her self-destructive behavior:

"In lieu of her death, I felt a desire to be with her, so I felt like abusing drugs and alcohol and fucking around a lot and becoming reckless and hazardous was my way of being intimate with her."

This song touches on his feelings from that time. Sufjan goes through a destructive or even suicidal phase but finds sustaining beauty in religion and nature.
