i assume the lines about eating loads of sugar relates to meth and its effects in some way. can anyone clarify that?
anyway, relating to that and to the song in general, i think it's about isolation to some degree. it seems that the character (i guess that would be darnielle) has gone beyond his house full of tweaker friends and is now alone but still addicted to meth. maybe he's still living there, but he's not really connected to it anymore. he lives in his own tiny world of addiction, sugar, and lonliness and he refuses to stop the one thing that both keeps him isolated and keeps him happy.
