Comin' Down Lyrics

I've always thought this song was about how much working 9 - 5 in an office sucked. The only thing I really have to back that up is the verse:

Looking through a pile of garbage For some worthless piece of paper That's been hidden there for me To give meaning to my day

The rest of it doesn't really support what I say the song is about.

The next logical thing I guess would be that it is about drugs. Coming down from a high. Ground dissolving beneath the feet. Seeing the lofty glory and the high and mighty. Drugs makes the most sense.
