I deffinitely agree that this song has to do with mind altering drugs. I always thought the part about "...so good to see you once again, i thought that you were hiding from me, you thought that i had run away, chasing a trail of smoke and reason..." was like you said coming down off the drug. Not necessarily the comedown though, more of just finding your sanity and the order of everything. From all the hallucinogens ive done I personally feel that the majority of the time i was on them I was not in a sane state of mind (as im sure many would agree). And there is always a point in the trip/experience that i realize that i am able to think a little more clearly. Hence the comedown. All tool songs can be translated in many ways, the important think is that it makes sense to you.
