i always thought it was an allegory, i never thought it was about drugs...i just thought it was about not being the person you could be, but only realizing it yourself...even if it based on the story of an astronaut, i think it has a deeper meaning...it's not meant to symbolize anything as specific as drugs(although you could relate it to drugs), but there's something ur supposed to get out of it about doing what is right and being the best person(in the case of the song, father/husband) you can be...kinda like the book/movie The Natural...yes, the story is ABOUT baseball, but the lessons learned by the characters in the book can be applied to anyone's life...
