I have to agree with sublime, if I had to interpret this song I would have to say it's about a psychedllic experience. Many of the lyrics vividly describe features of a trip.
He describes feeling lucid and conscious, just lying in nature and taking it all in. he describes the feeling of his mind expanding upon the canopy of nature. Seeing bright flashes of light. Feeling recharged and ready to take control of your life and make big changes and leaps forward (the burning in the bed of his soul) The whole song has a really spiritual, natural and magical feel to it, as does the video.
He also makes multiple references to feeling out of his mind, (hearing whispers of silence) and mentions that he doesn't mind it much (wouldn't mind it if I lost my mind out there) as if he has given into it fully. (I've been waiting for this day too long just to let it all go)
He also describes being "an arrow in a bow" many people who have done potent psychedellics like DMT describe feeling as though they are launched into space like an arrow from a bow, or a shot out of a cannon.
And anybody who has done psychedelics knows that feeling of "I can't describe it" and "you wouldn't believe me even if I told you so"
To me it sounds like he had a 2 week life changing spiritual experience, under the Influence of drugs or not...
