This song is clearly about Pete's cycle of drug abuse. Basically he's saying he started playing the guitar as a creative outlet to escape the boredom of everyday life but when he became successful it led to drugs and he was back to "just hanging around".
It's a warning to whoever's willing to listen. He's saying that there's a person underneath the messed up drug addict who wants to escape but he can't because he's addicted.
