John Lodge (who wrote this) was hesitant about joining the Moody Blues due to the fact that he was afraid that it wouldn't go anywhere. He was studying Engineering (I believe), and so he put music on hold for a while to finish up his schooling. Luckily (for us), he eventually returned to the music and, well, here we are.
The whole "trip/seesaw" thing may refer to drugs, but I think it's more of the whole experience of rising stardom.

Ultimately, we don't know, do we?
