Wandering off into the nebula represents meditation, or spiritual exploration. Just letting go and then bringing back the thoughts you've gathered and using them to create art.
Or maybe you're tripping on acid and that's the nebula. Actually, considering some of Incubus's earlier songs, I did always think this one meant allowing people, specifically artists, to use drugs as a way of going into one's subconcious and using it for creative energy...most likely what the band members did in early songwriting sessions.
Did they make up the word "orgasmatron"?
And the little black book he confides in...well...I'm not sure quite what to make of that.
I didn't like this song too much the first few times I listened to it. Now it's one of my favorites. Mike Einziger is my hero.

The little black book is probably just a diary :)
