I disagree, not to discredit your opinion, but to me this song means something different. "Biting on these bitter tasting pills" does not need to mean drugs. We have a saying "taking the bitter pill", is when you have to face something that is hard to face up to. You perhaps have to see that something you are doing is wrong, perhaps this wrong thing has caused the complications described in the first verse. Not having time to fix his eyes on the relationship, and wanting things to be simple again. Perhaps. The second verse is perhaps his desire to reaffirm his relationship, with God perhaps. Dead Poetic are a christian band. He wants to cast aside worldly things and focus on God, "your voice devoid of the constant noise". The last bit, "dont make me choose" shows there is a clear choice, life and death, and you just have to choose God- life.
