It is clear to me this song is about a heroin adiction. The title "Of the Girl" is just a cleaver way of masking that fact.
The first stanza deals with actually shooting up. Filling up the syringe, tieing off, and shooting up "with the love of a girl."
Then there is a period of escapement.
The second stanza is more about the effect heroin has on his life. A chosen path, the late nights, and devistation heroin has caused on his life (heavy the fall). He is tormented by his addiction.
