The song is about altered states of consciousness brought about by the use of chemical substances, particularly how they aren’t always a bad thing, as other DMB songs might suggest.
Via MTV:
“A Jimi thing in some places is a condom,” Matthews said. But for him, he said, it was a temporary song tit...
Lately I've been feeling low
A remedy is what I'm seeking
Take a taste of what's below
Come away to something better
What I want is what I've not got
But what I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And I'll say...
If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you
Take a Jimi Thing
Just to keep me swingin'
I'd like to show you what's inside
I shouldn't care if you don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Sometimes I walk there
Sometimes, God knows, I take a bus there
I should't care I shouldn't care bereaved as
I'm feeling
The day is gone I'm on my back
Starin' up at the ceiling
I take a drink, sit back and relax
Smoke my mind makes me feel
Better for a small time
What I want is what I've not got
What I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And I'll say
If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you
