Lyric discussion by Professor M 

Like dharmacase said, this is Paul Simon's "ayahuasca song" -- though that almost diminishes it. This isn't some recreational "drug" -- it's about a spiritual journey, arriving at that awareness that everything is connected in ways that we humans can only briefly understand, that "hear[ing] the jungle breath[ing]" is as close as we can be given to a real understanding of the world that can only be understood through experience.
