What this song means to me is basically, before you do drugs you're kind of a square, or just another incorruptible sheep in the pasture. But everyone sort of has a hidden partitioned mind that is not as easily accessible without the influence of drugs. That being said, once you have done drugs (mainly; alcohol, absinthe , acid or lsd, pot, etc.) your mind set starts changing, you start being less close minded, and expand your mind. Therefore, "The gate is straight, Deep and wide, Break on through to the other side." Also recollecting on the times you and your friends were experimenting "But can you still recall, The time we cried, Break on through to the other side." I could be wrong, this was my interpretation while being stoned immaculate, but as Jim Morrison has said about the majority of his songs “It is whatever you want it to be,“ to think one way and no other would be close minded.
