Sorry, I am not in the loop, but I have been looking for this song for ages. And while the author may have intended it to be about addiction, I read it in terms of love, which actually may also be addiction.
"Hope is gone, she confessed
that when you lay your dream to rest
you can get what's second best
but it's hard to get enough."
The only thing I've wanted out of life is to love and be loved (yes, by the same person), but I just turned 41 and I haven't had a boyfriend for 15 years. I get crazier with every failed pseudo-relationship and everywhere I look I am reminded that I am now an obsolete model.
There is no second best for love, no Silver Medal. It's all or nothing, and I've got nothing left to lose. So for me this song is about a chick finally coming to terms with (for whatever reason) her ineligibility to be loved. And deciding on a suicidal-daredevil path. Like someone in Vegas with one last chip playing damn roulette.
@Superx3000 I know this response comes late but I hope you have found a love that reciprocates to the fullest.
It takes time. My fiance passed in 2014 and the hollow is still here but I still have hope to find love again. Hope is the key word that keeps us afloat.

Still, just me.
