I love how people assume that a song is about a drug based on the time period and possibly the musicians.
Oh, ok. So one of America's most well-known songs is about heroin? Lobotomize yourself.
There's been some awesome interpretations here, though.
I always thought of it as writing about an escape from civilization and mankind. The verses, especially the last, suggest that a desert contains just as much diversity and wonder as mankind has created. Whether or not the writers were on substances is besides the point. I dont think the drug heroine itself is a desert and oceans and flies and stuff that anyone would automatically pluck out and say "oh yeah that reminds me of heroin!"
This song IS about Heroin to me. I am not just assuming. And like a few others have said before, it may be about something comletely different to you.

Also, the fact that I think it is about Heroin has nothing to do with the time period or musicians. As a recovering Heroin addict, this song just feels like Heroin to me. Perhaps you disagree, but don't patronize me or imply that I am an idiot because of the way this song hits me.

"Lobotomize yourself." Can we be best friends?
