I've always thought this song was about self-reflection or whatever, and with a mirror you have yourself and you have your reflection. Obviously the reflection isn't real, but it's what people see, and the whole thing about the mirror not being big enough for the two of them - I think the two of them is the real person behind the reflection and the reflection that everyone sees.
I think this song could be taken a number of ways, but that's how I've always seen it, and as morbid as that is, that's the way I like to see it. There's more ways to fuck yourself up without it being about drugs, and he wasn't really an addict back then, right? I thought his problems were at their worst later on and whatnot, but either way, I'm going with that.
