coins on the eyes referr to death..a coin for the boatride across the river styx. nothing to due with drugs..its toiling in mans work..down in the bayou. the two "boys"..doesnt the song further speak of two men. a father and a son..both denying mercy to one another. they died for lack of mercy. the girl mentioned loses her innocence due to greed..or better yet. patience..its a shame to lose you way as a spiritual "child". ..its not about drug addiction..its about losing ones innocence
true in ancient greek belief the coins on the eyes were for the toll for the river styx, but in the song dave says it represents the money they owe...im going with cocaine

Drug Dealer's have also been known to kill and leave messages as to why the victim was killed, so the "Coins in their eyes represents the money they owe" really can't be taken any other way. You can search for a deeper meaning but that doesn't mean it is there.

I think this is a common case of trying to find something insanely deep in a song that is already deep enough. The song is about being in trouble, all the verses line up with that.

First verse is about two dead men who owed money for their addiction or for something else. Second one is about kids getting high and killing a man who beats his child. Third is about having no money and still needing your fix and doing whatever you can to get it. "Sold your soul just trying to get over low" refers to withdraw symptoms. You need to get over your "low" so you sell your soul.

It's almost glaringly obviously to be honest.
