"You gotta ride that feeling". As in when the drugs start to kick in, you don't fight the feeling. You ride it. You go where it takes you.
"You gotta die to be free" refers to ego death. As in an intense hallucinogenic that shatters your ego and makes you truly self aware.
I think the title is a sly nod to the Primal Scream song "Higher Than the Sun" (if ever there were a song about hallucinogens, it's that) whose opening line is "My brightest star's my inner light, let it guide me".
It's about LSD.
