Various Methods of Escape Lyrics
Hallucinate in high fidelity
The pieces of a plan
Construction of the highest quality
The blood from my own hand
A line of lyric looping in my head
The body listening
It doesn't really matter anymore
Yes it doesn't mean a thing
I've gotta let go
I've gotta get straight
Why'd you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away
An effigy so wondrous to behold
Statements so profound
A place to bury everything I did
And burn it to the ground
A fire illuminates the final scene
The past repeats itself
I cannot tell the difference anymore
I cannot trust myself
I've gotta let go
I've gotta get straight
Why'd you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away
I've gotta let go
I've gotta get straight
Why'd you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away
I think I could lose myself in here
I think I could lose myself in here
I think I could lose myself in here
I think I could lose myself in here
I've gotta let go
I've gotta get straight
Why'd you have to make this so hard?
Let me get away
Got to let him go
Found another way
Why'd you have to make this so hard?
Let me get away
The pieces of a plan
Construction of the highest quality
The blood from my own hand
The body listening
It doesn't really matter anymore
Yes it doesn't mean a thing
I've gotta get straight
Why'd you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away
Statements so profound
A place to bury everything I did
And burn it to the ground
The past repeats itself
I cannot tell the difference anymore
I cannot trust myself
I've gotta get straight
Why'd you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away
I've gotta get straight
Why'd you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away
I think I could lose myself in here
I think I could lose myself in here
I think I could lose myself in here
I've gotta get straight
Why'd you have to make this so hard?
Let me get away
Found another way
Why'd you have to make this so hard?
Let me get away

Seems pretty clear this song is about trying to quit drugs
"I think I could lose myself in here" I think this lyric pretty much describes the rest of the song.
Finding various ways to get away from himself. Every one of them just making it harder to do it.
Hallucinogens, Amphetamines, opiates
and Music
Definitely agree that he does include 'music' in this song's meanings. More to him than just drug references.

This is my favorite song on this album. Trent is so fucking awesome. To me this song has nothing to do with drugs and that's just for tools. "Hallucinate in high fidelity The pieces of a plan Construction of the highest quality The blood from my own hand"
/\ This is describing his creative process\/
"A line of lyric looping in my head The body listening
"It doesn't really matter anymore Yes it doesn't mean a thing" <This is how he feels sometimes or has felt strongly in the past
"I've gotta let go I've gotta get straight Why'd you have to make it so hard? Let me get away" He knows what he has to do, but that doesn't make it any easier. He knows he fucked up in the past, and forgot his mission.
"An effigy so wondrous to behold Statements so profound A place to bury everything I did And burn it to the ground" <Now he is realizing the importance of his work, how he took his duty or responsibility for granted.
"A fire illuminates the final scene The past repeats itself I cannot tell the difference anymore I cannot trust myself" <Now he remembers his mission, but it's different now. He's the same guy, but an adult now.
"I think I could lose myself in here" < He really just loves doing what he does, making music
Thanks :)

I think he is more talking about losing himself in his music, and he uses drug metaphors to make that comparison. So agreee with you.

@randylic go get addicted to heroin for about a year then give it another listen.

And as for it "being for tools", despite what your opinion may be, it CAN happen to anybody... especially considering when 80% of users these days get started off prescription drugs given after surgery, an accident, or some other reason that doctors hand out opiates like Halloween candy.

I think this song is about taking a look at your life and assessing all the damage you've done to yourself and to others throughout the course of it. After seeing all the bad you've done you've come to the realisation that it's best to stay away from everything and perhaps everyone so you don't continue hurting them with all your issues. Hence, escaping and letting go, getting straight...cleaning up your act. He asks why'd you have to make this so hard, because it's hard to just cut all ties with your loved ones so easily.
After typing all that, I realised it fits perfectly with the final episode of Dexter.
