Sitting all alone, inside, today Jane.
The other girls are home, we're playing a new game.
The voice is very, very close, you like it that way,
and we're feeling rather warm inside.
Are you smiling or afraid?
You can have it either way.
Lady Jane your eyes are wide today,
and the world is looking very strange, you must proclaim!
It's quite a scary, scary ride we take, Lady Jane.
Yesterday seemed very dark, but now it's bright,
your clouds have gone away.
Sensory perception peaking at this time,
electric waves of sound are filling Janie's mind today
calling out to Janie as you drift away, "Don't be afraid,
they're only your illusion anyway."
Lady Jane your eyes are wide today.
and we're sure you won't forget the things
you've seen today!

There's literally nothing to indicate drug use other than the name and even that's a stretch - Lady Jane is a very, very common honorific and is actually used more commonly in literature as a reference to the Nine Days' Queen of England, Lady Jane Grey who was later considered a martyr.
Forget the drugs, this is possibly much more interesting.
Yes, there is!
"Your eyes are wide" / "a scary ride we take" / "your clouds have gone away"
I think it is quite clear. Even though I too think that the song is deeper than that. The point is not drug abuse, but isolation, imo.
It kinda sounds like a girl thats a bit of a misfit and her imagination is speaking to her or somthing.
Towards the end it seems she's listening to music and thats why her clouds have gone away.
Someone tell me what they think cause I'm not to sure
So if your thoughts may kill you, and your emotions are changing with every aspect of human beeing, don't be afraid. Maybe it's a curse, but only a few are blessed with it, and less than that survived.
But, the song feels too sad to simply be about drug experimentation. The piano and the tempo add to this feeling. Maybe it's about a person slowly shutting themselves in because of their addiction? Maybe it's about losing said person who was once your friend? Maybe there's an entirely different theme - like others have pointed out, it could go hand in hand with a mental hospital or something in that vein.
Think about it..
"Whispering to ear...as a horny motherfucker can. Want it or not, it's going to happen. To a doll eyed girl. He's feel some hidden self pity...
This happens day after day. Jane has only a radio to take her thoughts away from abuse.
He's mind tricking her not to believe to be abused. It's only illusion.
Still he knows, that what he does will not ever be forgotten by Jane."
Well, that's what I think about it..
