@Scott guion You're very close in saying that the knife means a speed pill. At the time of writing this song, Eldritch was taking heavy doses of amphetamine in powder form off a knife blade.

(I know this isnt what this song interprets)
But I like to think that the "Knife" means a Amphetamine pill. "One Life" is the feeling he gets from the drug.
He says, "Nothing but the knife to live for One life all I need." Everytime he pops a pill.
By the end of the song he becomes so addicted you hear his voice change from calm to almost eratic.
This is how I felt while on Amphetamine.
