And assuming all that's true. How does it change your life? Do you think you would run out and do heroin? It's a nice song with a good melody and passable bass line. But it also has a horrible 70's sax solo. Why are you obsessing on a song older than you are?
He likes the song!...Why are you shitting on him....
LOL. I don't even drink alcohol much less do heroin.

My favorite song lyrics always have very ambiguous meanings. R.E.M. always used to say about their early lyrics that they had purposely coded wording so as to create an obtuse vibe and also to inspire the listener to come up with his own interpretation. That opens up all kinds of possibilities as opposed to very linear, obvious lines which are limited to only one meaning.
No offense to the OP but it has always annoyed me when somebody tries to force some kind of narrow interpretation upon lyrics that can only suffer from that kind of unnecessary scrutiny.
