I don't think its about alcoholism (he says he has overcome his addiction by this point) or breaking up, altho i think those are part of it. I think its about being tied up in a person. She and He have broken up some time ago, but he still carries a hope, really -- an obsession with the idea that she might one day love him again. So he waits by the phone, stops going out, stops talking to everyone, stops EXISTING except for her. This song is him realizing that every little scrap of attention she gives him just perpetuates that dead hope, and that the only way for him to get over her is to cut ties completely. And not only does this obsession, infatuation hurt him -- it hurts her as well. She still cares about him, but doesnt love him. ANd he tries to convince himself that he can just be friends with her, but knows he cant.
"I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head" --- he cant think of her at all becuase even the slightest thought gives him a desperate hope of something that will never come.
"Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you"
basically -- he's telling her,
"move on, you stay becuase you think im not ok, but im not ok becuase you stay and unknowingly give me false hope"
Thats what i think its about... Hope and how it can kill you... and how to get rid of it. i can totally relate to this song, and i have learned through many hard experiences that the only true way to get over someone is to totally cut ties. that doesnt mean thta tyou wont one day meet again -- but to stay now will kill you.
I think you have the message backwards entirley. Where does he say he wants to make/made a porno? He just said a porno feels like home because he is so lonley.

Anyway, I actually think the message is not him having hope, but him trying to break away from his girlfriend (or another loved one) because he feels like a burden to them:
"An ounce of peace is all I want for you
Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me
Just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me
it is I...

it is I that wanted this"
It's obvious this loved one was trying very hard to help, not get away from him:
"While I was busy waging wars on myself
You were tying to stop the fight"

Also one hint to that is the line "there's a burning in my pride"
To the porno reference someone stated it's loneliness and that's 100% correct. Watching his home movies of "family" make a porno feel like home...that's the extent of the love in his life. I once heard heroine addicts can't feel the meaning of love only that they feel wanted. Rather sad

It's his MOTHER, not a girlfriend.

That's stupid. Who would make a porno with their mom?

If you watch the music video, you can clearly see it's about his mother, not a girlfriend.

Not about Alcohol at all. He was a heroine addict
