I figure this song is mainly just psychedelia in terms of the lyrics. The only line that really interests me is about the "battlegrounds red and brown". The red is obviously blood (and anger, violence, warfare, etc) but I wonder what the brown is. It could be brown like a dry dead field, meaning perhaps that the philosophy that leads to war is dry and dead. I think it may also represent the corpses on the battleground.
