Sam, or Mahasamatman, the protagonist of 'Lord of Light', fought a long battle
against the heavenly establishment and was eventually defeated (this part is
told after awhile as he remembers).  To remove him from the scene/eliminate
him as a threat, he is then transmitted, of sorts, into an electromagnetic flux/
cloud spectrum something or other which orbits the planet, something he
later describes as the ultimate experience.  It is this from which Yama calls
him back at the start of the book, to lead them against the hindu pantheon
once again.

It is basically this electromagnetic trip that Sam was trapped in that I believe
the song is describing....
