I guess it could be drugs, but I doubt it. I mean, you interpret it your own way, we all do, but I think it's more obviously about someone trying to convert him. All the stuff about "down is where we came from" as in, from the "clay" in Genesis that Adam was made of, as well as the Fall of mankind, and how we should be looking up: ahead to better days, ultimately to heaven and our reunion with God. And, "no one get's high on themselves" could be a reference to how supposedly no one gets to heaven but through Jesus; we can't do it ourselves. This is all implied, of course.
Still, one gets the definite impression the narrator doesn't buy it, even though he acknowledges his need to not "stay the same I am today". He calls it a fairy tale, and implies, alright, don't get annoyed, he's just trying to be nice to me, since I seem so lonely and sad, and help in the way he knows how.
Or, maybe when he says he believes, it's a spoof on religious people. How they generally just get suckered in with tales of hope and everlasting love, and end up depending on their preacher or guru
