It really is very straight This song has been in my mind since the first time I heard it.what, 45 years ago. What a waste of talent/intellect/skill/gift. Sort of, 'I have walked this path with you and now we are both lost, and if you don't come out of that drug hazed cloud it will all be for nothing. This person has sacrificed his life(her life). "Well i'm wasted and I can't find my way home" = in today's lingo it would translate roughly to "Dude, where is my car?" but there is a more urgent cut to it. "And i just ain't got the time no" = I mean it. "But i'm near the end" = I'm near the end "You are the reason/I've been waiting here so long" = I LOVE YOU, holds the key" = Help! Help! What are the magic words that will penetrate his doped out core? "Some body must change" = You gotta do what ever it take to man up and take responsibilty for your own addictions
"Leave your body alone" = stop taking drugs
"Come down off your throne" = The grandiosity and the euphoria created by the drugs. It is about drugs and the wreakage they make of your life. You have to consider the context of the period in which they were written. General CommentYou guys are waaaaay over thinking these lyrics.
