This is totally about drugs. Trippy word choice, imagery and temporality all contribute to the fact that this is a drug song.
The chorus is a good place to start: "Why does the soul hallucinate? I've got control, I shift my shape." The first referring to the genuine wonderment while tripping that tripping is possible. Then the insecurity of tripping must lead to the affirmation of control over the body through the mind, in that the mind can go so far as to change ones shape. This kind of control is only possible through tripping.
"your eyes, they swell like a riot, deranged; tomorrow you're laughing like a child again": While tripping, the eyes are one place the mind materializes its trip as dilated pupils are a dead give away. Tomorrow (temporal factor), once the trip is over, we'll all be laughing about how much fun we had doing simple child like things (that tend to happen on a trip).
