"5D (Fifth Dimension)" as written by and Roger Mcguinn....
Oh, how is it that I could come out to you
And be still floatin'
And never hit bottom and keep falling through
Just relaxed and paying attention?
All my two-dimensional boundaries were gone
I had lost to them badly
I saw that world crumble and thought I was dead
But I found my senses still working
And as I continued to drop through the hole
I found all surrounding
To show me that joy innocently is
Just be quiet and feel it around you
And I opened my heart to the whole universe
And I found it was loving
And I saw the great blunder my teachers had made
Scientific delirium madness
Oh, I will keep falling as long as I live
Ah, without ending
And I will remember the place that is now
That has ended before the beginning
Oh, how is it that I could come out to you
And be still floatin'
And never hit bottom and keep falling through
Just relaxed and paying attention?
And be still floatin'
And never hit bottom and keep falling through
Just relaxed and paying attention?
All my two-dimensional boundaries were gone
I had lost to them badly
I saw that world crumble and thought I was dead
But I found my senses still working
And as I continued to drop through the hole
I found all surrounding
To show me that joy innocently is
Just be quiet and feel it around you
And I opened my heart to the whole universe
And I found it was loving
And I saw the great blunder my teachers had made
Scientific delirium madness
Oh, I will keep falling as long as I live
Ah, without ending
And I will remember the place that is now
That has ended before the beginning
Oh, how is it that I could come out to you
And be still floatin'
And never hit bottom and keep falling through
Just relaxed and paying attention?

That's what this song means to me. It's a beautiful song, and it's totally under-rated.
In any case, is my favourite Byrds song. Maybe also their most "english" song (thee baroque style organ sounds a bit like The Kinks).
I can see why people might think it was, but so many of those songs in the 60s were written to mean something OTHER than drugs but they were ambiguous enough that people could apply their own 'meanings'.
I had lost to them badly
I saw that world crumble and thought I was dead
But I found my senses still working
And as I continued to drop through the hole
I found all surrounding
To show me that joy innocently is
Just be quiet and feel it around you
And I opened my heart to the whole universe
"I saw that world crumble and thought I was dead
But I found my senses still working"
He's still conscious after death, as his previously "two-dimensional" world crumbled around him.
"And I will remember the place that is now
That has ended before the beginning"
This is the Fifth dimension. It transcends time itself. Thus, it "has ended before the beginning."
