Star Trek's matter/antimatter power is really just science fiction technobabble, so no matter how complicated they manage to make it sound on the screen, "over your head" is just a measure of how good a job the writers and actors do of making it sound as if it might be real. Although my guess is if you asked someone at a Star Trek convention who was wearing a Starfleet Engineering insignia, they'd try to explain it to you.
Something I've always found amusing about Trek is how often small pieces of dilithium have been mcguffins ever since the original series, yet they've never once tried to explain where they're getting enough antimatter to power whole fleets of starships.
