I think this song is about how he fell in love with someone who changed him for the better. In the beginning he talks about being angsty and doing drugs, and how that wasn't really taking him anywhere or making him happy on its own.
The lyrics follow the theme of being in a band who doesn't make it big, but this could just be a metaphor for one way of life not working out so he tries this other one which does.
