i'm gonna go totally cliche and say its about drugs. a bad trip on something to be exact. or maybe just drug addiction. a thousand barefoot children dancing on my lawn. jungles in his mind. sounds pretty trippy to me. also losing time... nothing i can say to make it stop?
@mynameismike agree, I always thought this was about a partly enjoyable, partly disturbing psychedelic experience... all the images seem like creepy hallucinations that are interesting at first, then eventually scary. Even to an experienced traveler who can dismiss a bad trip and wait it out, there's that feeling of "this has all been wonderful...but I'm looking forward to going back to normal." A few experiences like that are when you learn you're sort of maturing out of regular psychedelic use, which I was sort of going through when this song appeared in 1994 so that's what it meant to me...
