The title "Givin' Up" makes perfect sense. When you are addicted to something, you are always toeing the line between trying to quit and just enjoying the release of getting a fix. "Givin' up givin' a fuck" is that feeling of giving up the guilt and getting a fix without "givin a fuck".

It's like when I've been trying to quit smoking for weeks to no avail, and I finally say fuck it. Those guiltless cigarettes are always the best. Also, there are usually a lot more cigarettes when they're guiltless (right after "givin' up givin' a fuck"). So, one might speculate that he overdosed because he decided he was just going to go with his addiction rather than fight it.

Long story short: Addiction is an ebb and flow of trying to quit and "givin' up givin' a fuck".
