I think he on LSD for sure. Before he is tripping he is thinking about the "whole chosen people thingy just outside Area 51". Acid amplifies what you are feeling/thinking inside. That's why when he is on the acid he comes to think he IS the "chosen one".
The gradual appearance of the aliens, is exactly how the effects of acid occur. The flaming stealth banana is the onset of the trip, the alien jumps out of the ship. He is confronted by his thought. That's why the "ET revealed his singular purpose." He is confronted by his thought, and because of his vulnerable state believes it. The drugs "showed him something".
I think it's called Rosetta Stoned, because as some have already said it is about divine communication, and the Rosetta Stone was a tool that we used to learn Egyptian (a form of communication). The Stoned part comes from the fact that he is discovering something on the drug that he should communicate to the human race. But because he is extremely high can't remember what made perfect sense to him while tripping.
So essentially what is learned on the drug IS the lost key, because he had the key while on the drug but lost it when he came down. He is saying that if you "reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment," chances are most people don't use them responsibly enough to apply to your life. This freaked him out so badly, that he ended up going into a panicked state, which is how he appears at the hospital.
This song is saying that psychedelics can be used to contribute to spiritual enlightenment but can't fully reach it. It gives you a glimpse of what it feels like. It is "so real" while on the drug but when it dissappears, it becomes alien to your normal mindset.
