The song is about escaping but it's not about drug addiction. It's Mike Scott trying to escape his record company after they wanted him to make more commercial music like "whole of the moon". He wanted to get away from all that and make his own music, so he went off to Ireland to record the fishermans blues album. Go see them live if you ever get chance. They are awesome
