I think that this song and this album are mainly about simplicity and the beauty of nature.
The narrator likes the view from being in hte tree, and now that he is up there he is made happier and happier at his distance from "society" and his nearness to that which is real and beautiful...Nature
While I dont think that this song is drug inspired, I do get reminded of my younger, "more carefree" days when I hear it.
A friend of mine who had a party house that was full everynight would sometimes take large quantities of acid and go down to the park down the road and climb this huge pine tree. We would do this in the summer or the winter, dusk or dawn. I am terribly afraid of heights but would find myself 30 feet off the ground in this big tree, feeling safe, watching cars go by, watching people walk their dogs and shovel their sidewalks....it was very peaceful up there and we would sway in the breeze for hours and not even speak.
That is what this song means to me.
