Lyric discussion by SecretSkwirl07 

I hate to discourage interpretations, but this song is definitely not about heroin. That was more Cobain's scene as we all know, and the closet Eddie ever came to even referencing that particular drug was in "Spin the Black Circle" where Ed implies that his 'heroin' is symbolically music

"See this needle. I see my hand. Drop, drop, droppin it down.. Oh, so gently"

Of course the needle is not of the intravenenous type, but simply the needle of a record player.

Not totally true. While PJ was not at all a drug band, listen to the first verse of Deep, off Ten, and tell me it's not a reference to a guy shooting up.
