Lyric discussion by A Perfect Circle 

Uh, slickvic? Have you heard this whole album? If the whole album is about addiction like you say it is, then how does "The Outsider" fit this category? Anyway, I do agree with ObsessiveTendencies that this is about some guy using a girl (or trying to find a girl for that matter) that will just go along with his sexual desires. He's obviously been hurt before because he tried to feel affection for someone, but it back-fired on him. He doesn't need someone to love, he just needs someone to engage in his sexual needs.

@A Perfect Circle this album is called thirteenth step because of the song the outsider

@A Perfect Circle The Outsider is about someone who doesn’t understand addiction is a mental illness and is telling the addicted person to just get over it. They are an outsider to the whole conflict, hence the name. The entire album is in fact about addiction and it’s pretty easy to see how for most of the songs, I don’t know how you missed it.
