Yeah, messed up film. But I think the song is really about drugs, having a bad experience or a bad batch. "The Skeksis at the rave meant to hide deep inside their sunken faces and their wild rolling eyes" seems to refer to Ecstacy as does "We've fled the world with smiles and clenching jaws". And then there's "Please help me friend I'm coming down". Also, the "gold is brown" might refer to heroin and the "crystal town" might mean crystal meth. It's very cleverly done, though, quite subtle.
