This song is definitly about drugs, like most people pointed out.
"Your high is timed, you found the climb
It's hard to focus on more than what's in front of you"
This line describes the feeling of being high, where all you can do is focus on one thing because of the daze you're in.
"Your buzz beginning to wane"
Coming down, cooooooming down.
I'm not sure what exactly Stipe is trying to say with these lyrics, but they could be describing someone who's addicted to this drug, and only it can make them feel happy, and that drug use is the "adventure" that he talks about in the chorus.
