The song has a definite connection with drugs and getting high, just like the first commentator aptly stated. I also think it has an overtone of falling in love (with a person) but leaves an ambiguity. I think there is an (unstated) duality in the song. At first it seems that it is a romantic song-this is based on the melody and song structure. Its played with major chords with a gospel feeling...very uplifting. Then the lyrics go off into the drug references-but the song still stays with a rising major chord sequences. Very interesting.
