Cover art for Gold Mine Gutted lyrics by Bright Eyes

"and all those white lines that sped us up we hurry to our death well i lagged behind so you got ahead "

sounds like they were being careless with their lives through drug use, and for somereason conor was slower on his way to death (or his addiction) and this friend of his "got ahead" in death or addiction.

maybe?
