The most obvious literal meaning of the song would be simply the view of a drug addict. Taking all these pills and injecting all the needles is all that's keeping him sane, and he just can't stop himself.
But, this song could possibly have a more spiritual meaning: maybe the drugs he can't get enough of are his sinful desires and wrongful temptations. The person cannot seem to stop himself, "Distraction is all I need, All I need all I need to shelter me." He continues to seek this temporary high, trying to reach a state of happiness, without worrying about how much damage he may be doing to his own body/soul/mind ("Don't bother me with details, Don't bore me with what's real"). As with many drug addicts, he desires some kind of permanent high, some kind of eternal happiness. He is reaching out for something more but he doesn't know what it is, so he just keeps searching for the answer.
