When discussing Placebo songs people often argue wether they're about love or drugs. I think the point is that both themes are very similar, which is why Placebo like to play around with expressions and images related to both. A destructive love can have the same effects on you and the people around you as taking drugs, love AND drugs can make you feel high, make you see the world from a new perspective, cause you pain or even kill you. So I think the songs are (always) meant to be ambiguous.
