Song Meaning
Fans tend to say the lyrics refer to the emotional highs gained from when the song-writer ingested a recreational drug. Indeed, the musical notes of high and low sequences tend to alternate into matching the surging waves of euphoria while under a drug influence intoxification. The lyrical wording is said to convey this, in that its key line of "never let me down" means that the pleasure-response is 'hopefully' re-occurant. However the typically downward aftermath of drug-use could be the overall point the lyricist was making in that the drug binge is always a short-term one.

“The nineteenth century is a turning point in history, simply on account of the work of two men, Darwin and Renan, the one the critic of the Book of Nature, the other the critic of the books of God. Not to recognise this is to miss the meaning of one of the most important eras in the progress of the world.”
