I take this song to be about watching movies, possibly, but not neccessarily, while stoned off your ass. Most every line is a refference to a movie of some sort, even the title and refrain can be seen as a refference to "The Deer Hunter". That said, I have no idea what is meant by the lyric "I'm the Nuremberg Stepper Blowin' Wets Away"; it doesn't make a lick of sense...
i'm amazed nobody else has commented on this, which is quite possibly the lords most famous song!

anyway, i see what you mean about movies. i heard somewhere that this song was inspired by the movie Appocalypse Now.
i've never seen the Deer Hunter but i've just read a review of it, so i see the connection.

A Nuremberg stepper is a Nazi or a fascist whichever you fancy. "blowin' wets away" I assume he means "wetbacks" which is a rascist term for someone who enters the states illegally.

The Coppola line is a reference to Apocalypse Now and if you watch it you'll see that the dreams are nightmares and the main character suffers throughout.

I posted a comment with more context which I'd not expect younger people to know and that's why it's so easily misunderstood.
