• As is remarked away back in the Catalog 3 comments, this might be a reference to the condition synaesthesia, a sort of "crossing" of senses, where an auditory stimulus can cause a visual sensation. There are some synaesthetic artists, inspired to paint an impression of what they see when hear a piece of music, for example. In view of the fact that there is also a Catalog 3 track called "Visual Drone 12", this is the view favoured by [DC].
• Alternatively, it could be taken literally - I saw drones, as in unmanned aerial vehicles. However, this usage of this term was fairly rare in popular culture at the time.
• Additionally, drones may refer to male bees. Unlike the female worker bee, a drone has no stinger. He does not gather nectar or pollen and cannot feed without assistance from worker bees. His only role is to mate with a maiden queen in nuptial flight. This could also be an allusion to the phrase "the birds and the bees," a talk parents are expected to have with their children.
• I saw thrones, Revelation 20:4.
