Chemical eyes could mean the person is drunk or on some kind of mind-altering drug, or anything contrived for that matter. Looking okay is sizing them up and declaring them trustworthy, another free-spirited substance abuser who just wants to have fun. Then she cocks her head, showing her ugly side that was never expected. I sense some betrayal here.
Every word they said may have been the advice of others who want her to lie and cheat, which they probably told her would make her smarter. It sounds like a hierarchical pyramid of shot-calling in a town ravaged by a turf war, one the songwriter was a part of at a time when he thought it was all fun and games until she did something serious to mess him up. He did imply he used to give a damn about the people, the places, the different stories behind the faces, now he can't trust anybody.
Or it could be about his mother, who left him in a flooded house because she didn't have enough room in the trailer.
Or it could all just be about the rape allegations.
I like to think of it as a song of betrayal and bad choices of friends.
