It always seemed to me that each track on this album was constructed as a tangible counterpart to an experience or dream. As a way to touch a memory almost. This is drowning.
He's said himself that the songs were inspired by lucid dreams (dreams in which you're aware that you're dreaming). That's a pretty awesome inspiration for an album!
I thought I'd also mention that I smirk a lot when I listen to this because I use to just sit their with synthesizers making weird sounds; and whenever I made something that struck a bell I'd focus the entire track on that sound; probably what happened here, he got a sound; and he just stuck with it because he was fascinated by it; took him to one of those "little worlds" inside his head lol

I've just listened to this with Stone in focus playing at the same time... an interesting, yet beautiful mix.
