Maybe there's a double meaning to this song, but I interpret as being about doing drugs. Now this idea maybe a little shaky, but I think the guy in the song sees his that his love interest does drugs and he wants to feel the same thing she does.
These are a couple things that led me to believe this:
"When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I want to feel it too"
My interpretation: Getting high is commonly refered to as "holiday" and when you're high you often have a hard time completing coherent sentences and saying whats on your mind. "and I want to feel it to" Refers to the fact that the guy wants to feel the high his love interest feels.
"On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain"
my interpretation: "island in the sun" could mean the place where he feels like he is when he's high. "It makes me feel so fine" refers to the fact that he has fun when he's high. "I can't control my brain" means he cant control his brain because he's so stoned.
"When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone"
my interpretation: He has no worries about anything when he's drifting into the zone (doing drugs)
That's my read on the song, what do you guys think about that take?
@alwaysanole I think this is spot on, as "Golden" is a synonym for Heroin also. (Look : "Golden Brown - The Stranglers)

A lot of old rock bands wrote love songs to heroin, as hard as it is to believe.

I am no expert on the subject to be honest (thank god) but it is increadibly potent drug which will pretty much immobilize you and you will lose the control of your mind and your body in an exctasy. So this makes total sense :

You don't need no memory (Actually you won't be able to remember your own name too...)
Just a place to call your own (You need a place to shoot it)

"We'll never feel bad anymore" This is a very usual sentence of a drug addict; because a lot of them has stress and depression in their life, and they use drugs to "forget" or to "don't feel bad anymore." And because they are addicts, when they are not high, they will start to feel awful and bad.

@alwaysanole Not unreasonable, but intense love can cause effects similar to drugs as well, so I'm not sure the drugs are really necessary.
