"Southside" as written by and Darryl/taylor Richardson Ii....
See myself in the pouring home
See the light come over now
See myself in the pouring rain
I watch hope come over me
Here we are now going to the east side
I pick up my friends and we start to ride
Ride all night we ride all day
Some may come and some may stay
Here we are in the pouring home
I watch the light man fall the comb
I watch a light move across the screen
I watch the light come over me
Here we are now going to the west side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come and some may stay
Watching out for a sunny day where there's
Love and darkness and my sidearm
Hey, elan
Here we are now going to the north side
I look at my friends as they start to ride
Ride at night we ride all day
Looking out for a sunny day
Here we are now going to the south side
I pick up my friends and we hope we won't die
Ride at night, ride through heaven and hell
Come back and feel so well
See the light come over now
See myself in the pouring rain
I watch hope come over me
Here we are now going to the east side
I pick up my friends and we start to ride
Ride all night we ride all day
Some may come and some may stay
Here we are in the pouring home
I watch the light man fall the comb
I watch a light move across the screen
I watch the light come over me
Here we are now going to the west side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come and some may stay
Watching out for a sunny day where there's
Love and darkness and my sidearm
Hey, elan
Here we are now going to the north side
I look at my friends as they start to ride
Ride at night we ride all day
Looking out for a sunny day
Here we are now going to the south side
I pick up my friends and we hope we won't die
Ride at night, ride through heaven and hell
Come back and feel so well

But if I hadn't heard that from Moby.......
I would think that it's about getting high. I don't do drugs, but that sounds like a high to me. But, the last line of the song doesn't make sense with this interpretation, because after being high you would probably wouldn't "feel so well," but instead feel bad because you came back to reality.
"I would think that it's about getting high. I don't do drugs, but that sounds like a high to me."

I had done drugs at a 17-19 year old age. To me, it sounds exactly to me like those days. The 3rd person sort of 'Here we are now...' bits to me makes it especially seem disconnected, furthering this thought.
However, I'm a person that listens to only a part of a song, ignores the rest and makes up my own meaning.
To me, that is exactly what it means, driving around because some deal fell through, or simply cruising after the fact.
