Sorry, just re-listened to the song and had something to add to my post above. I dont think he's so much talking about the pointlessness of the drugs (though he could be) i think hes meaning how helpless he is to her (ie. when he's holding her close or he hears her laugh---in the same way as the uselessness of a sword to block a river or cut the moon in half).
