I know it is certainly a cliched response but there seems to be a strong drug reference running through this song. Firstly a lightbulb can be used to smoke drugs. Next, 'sickly pink liquid' - you can get wasted off cough syrup. The protagonist lacks motivation...'when I'm asleep the smoke fills me'. Seems to be about a drug fallout perhaps, in relation to memories of childhood, or it could be entirely innocent. Just something to think about. If anything it seems to be about no motivation, no desire to see the outside world...living in a 'bubble'...and either likening yourself to a schoolkid or it literally being about one.
