I dont really think dave mustaine being the founder of the challenging and so very rhythmic "spider chord" and not to mention his incredible and very distinct poetic vocal power would write a song about a memorable sky diving experience.
I could very well be wrong on this too but I am thinking its about the feeling and addiction to crystal meth.
first off another slang word used for meth is "dirt". which would fit the title perfectly with the words "high speed"" in front of it
also these lines seem to stick out..."exhilarating high"....."energy of the gods, adrenaline surge"......"loosing all my weight"..."fire in my veins"...and just so you know... dave has written lyrics to other songs about this substance struggle as well....look up the lyrics to "burnt ice"....lyrics are just like the music....it is what you make off it....thats the beauty of it all
@mikeyj420 Exactly. While he did say it was about skydiving, AC/DC also said Night Prowler was about kids sneaking into other kids rooms and stuff like that. Clearly it wasn't, but they needed to say something to make it so they weren't stupidly blamed/connected to the Night Stalker killings, and the same can be applied here. There are obvious implications of meth addiction and/or suicide that can be covered up by "skydiving," and he obviously wouldn't want to be blamed for causing suicides or something stupid like that, as seen in the past with Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne's court...

Anyone with half of a working brain can tell that Mustaine, writer of Holy Wars, Peace Sells, and all of his other meaningful songs, wouldn't be writing about a fucking skydiving trip.
