This song could be about drugs, overdoses etc however I think it is simply taking the metaphor of an overdose to talk about how people are trapped and persecuted in society..."The world is watching..." - you are constantly under pressure to do as other people expect, to meet up to their expecations. I think Katie Jane is adressing stereotyping and saying that people hold too many prejudices and are too judgemental. They don't understand what they do to people when they pressure them into being something they don't feel comfortable with eg. the world is watching as I take my last breath. Ultimately this pressure can end in mental or physical death. I think Katie Jane is saying that being "pretty like drugs" is maybe popular release but in the end it will kill you in some form. Dangerous living...
