The meaning of the song isn't all that obscure, should be obvious from the lyrics.
This is a killer song, one of Iron Butterfly's best. It's a shame the popularity of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida made them seem to many a one hit wonder because they have some great songs, this one ranking up their with early music by The Doors in musical quality in catchiness. I don't know if the song was meant to be a Doors imitation, but the great guitar and keyboard parts make it top caliber 60's rock, in my opinion. Good hooks and vocals, too.
