Yeah, there's a definite drug reference there. You're probably right about
the song's theme. I'm an incurable optimist though, so I'll just believe
it's about reclaiming the joy of youth. I mean, I don't remember wanting to
change the world when I was younger. Just beating Carl Lewis in the 100m
dash in the 2000 Olympics. It would've been sweet.
