Freaking awesome song! Especially the first 20 seconds of this masterpiece have some timeless magic within.
It can be about so many things... drugs, depression... or it could be about things getting strange and new, loss of naivity, loss of innocence, things becoming twisted, in both positive and negative ways. And this can mean anything from puberty to the "new world" (including industrial revolution, globalization, new technologies, the disintegration of social norms, religion and other old authorities losing their authority - "God's dead" as Nietzsche puts it, etc. etc. etc.)
