I got the feeling of an addiction. Alcahol maybe because I heard he one almost died from alcahol poisioning. "So close to dying that I finally can start living". And also "Winters gonna end im gonna clean these veins again" might be his resolution not to drink again, because I also heard he swore never to drink again, but it didnt work out. I love the music to this song.
