However, we cannot avoid the vehicle of "religion." Yes.of course, it is all drug related as stated by other posts. After all, a believe that it was a Chinese philosopher that stated "religion is the opiate of the people."Ĭlearly this is preacher speaking (as they do) to "believe." However, I think that the drug angle is presented in an environment of a religious revival. No doubt that Time Out Of Mind is about drugs. I'm sort of surprised that no one else has put forward this understanding of the song. I do not put it by SD to be so clever as to write a song that uses one interpretation as a vehicle for another interpretation. "Time Out Of Mind" has always drawn my attention because I think it is purposely written for two meanings. I happened on a site called "Fever Dreams" which posted interpretations.
