Soak the Sin Lyrics

This song describes exactly what it feels like when you do psychedelic drugs. You start coming down and have an overwhelming appreciation for the small things in life (especially your parents for some reason) and as soon as i heard the line:

"And if I ever go back home I'm Gonna settle And tell my momma, I love Her so and thank you for Giving me these bones"

I instantly knew that it was about coming down from psychedelics. Also the song suggests feelings of remorse for the way he has lived, which also fits my idea. Its totally about the post-tripping feelings you get.
