I saw Sufjan this week and he said this song is about love and the apocalypse. How loosing a love can feel like the end of the world and be so dramatic...

This is what makes it so frightening. Someone could be at the top of their class, brilliant and creative one day, and then unable to tell truth from hallucination the next.
