It's about taking LSD and ridding yourself of your ego, and putting things into perspective. Despite the title, it seems like Brian Wilson wanted people to lose their ego, as its made clear in the chorus:
"Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight"
However it was changed to "I Know There's An Answer" because Mike Love didn't want a song about LSD or a song with that title on the album.
Or so i have read, wikipedia isn't always very reliable haha.
