Interestingly, in the Matrix, while Neo searches for Morpheus, you hear the part "Feels like I've been, I've been here before, You are not my saviour, but I still don't go, feels like something, that I've done before". Which is mysteriously fitting to the matrix' story.
Furthermore I can't decide whether it's about, sex, drugs or some general form of addiction/dependence.
@Germ Massive Attack typically keep their lyrics ambiguous. Obviously, the main thing in the clip is sex. But, as an aside, then there seems to be a part of trying to pretend to be someone other than yourself. Further, the way they collect her tears is just another Pandora's Box of more questions than answers.

It's about how we use escape and how alluring it is despite us gradually getting more and more lost. Eventually, we end up dissolving ourselves within every attempt to escape. So, it could readily be sex, drugs, or any other form of addiction or dependence.

I was addicted to heroin when this song came out, so on a personal level, it is definitely about a foolish attempt to find myself by escaping my life with drugs. Even though there's always the risk of overdosing and physical assault if you don't know the right people in a given area, the life of finding ways and means to get enough money to then get the substance that you know will make you feel physically and emotionally ok at least for a little while is much more appealing than facing up to decades of family abuse and neglect with no positive coping skills ever even mentioned to you in the vain hope that reliving all that shit will make you feel whole, content, and without lingering resentments.
