To me the song is about death. Its a more subtle meaning, but the lines that i get most of that meaning from are strange shapes in the sky, and the memories fading. When a person dies their brain produces the chemical that creates dreams in much higher amounts, its a psychotropic chemical similar to LSD and anyone who has done LSD can vouch for strange shapes, and the chemical in question, in your brain is known to produce visual effects similar to that, describes as complex geometric patterns. The memories fading actually ties in with leaving early care, and being taken away, because whereas acid "enhances" your world, the chemical in your brain will completely dissociate your brain from this world. As far as men in black, if they do predate our current conception of them, they can easily be identified as reapers. Perhaps its coincidence but they way i like to interpret it does match up to the lyrics, and im trying to be unbiased when i say this, but i think it matches up just about as well as aliens.
