I think there's a few things this song could be about.
First of all it could be about drug addiction or alcholism. They think the whole process of getting completely fucked up to forget about the bad things in their life is helping them - but it's actually "taking their life away."
The second thing is that it could be about parents. This is actually my mums idea, but I'm sure she won't mind me taking it. Parents always tell you "everything will be ok" and shield you from things because they think it will make you feel better but in the long run it actually makes you worse, and you end up resenting them for not being honest with you.
And the last one - it could just be about a romantic relationship.
