I don't know and can't find any information to discern what this song is actually about. "Opiate angel" sounds drug-related but that is rather more than likely a metaphor for what he feels this woman does to him. He describes desperation all throughout the song, and when he says, "I'm scared that I'll find you/I'm scared even more I never will" it makes me think he has grown addicted to the idea of loving her; that it's both sweet to long for and be with her--either could be equally good or bad for him. This reminds me, sadly, of an experience of my own. The song is refreshingly muted, downbeat and pensive. This is either my 2nd favorite Cross song along with, obviously, "Sailing." Can't believe I'm the only one to say something about this song so far; have a listen if you've never heard.
