I agree with everyone about the reference to drugs but I believe there is more to it than that
I think the song is describing a situation where someone is incredibly depressed, turning to drugs to ease the pain
"starts with one I can’t feel
it’s all in your mind anyway
i can’t heal
make me feel this way, oh"
The attempt of temporary comfort becomes an actual attempted suicide as they take another (pill possibly) and another, all the time telling himself he has been numbed by his pain and there is nothing else for him to do or say
"only three I can’t seem
to get enough anyway
I can’t speak
nothing to say anyway"
the person is trying to make the rest of the world understand his pain by showing them it the only way he knows how, by taking his own life.
"let’s show them the only way
let’s show them our hearts"
and the last few stanza's could describe a near death experience, seeing the guiding light from above, cold perhaps with the feeling of on coming death. he watches his reality and the present "today" fade away and blur into something else
