I agree with epicfail. I think it's possibly about a drug addiction.
"There was no way out, the only way out was to give in" could reference extreme cravings for a drug. Withdrawl is so painful and strong that the only way to escape from it is to take more of the drug (give in).
"Here no one sleeps, one lays up while the other lies down"
might mean experiencing the drug's high. Being in a euphoric, relaxed state, but never actually being able to sleep.
"Ask the line on your face what the line on your hand meant"
I personally view this line as a discredit to the "art" of palmistry and other methods of fortune telling. The line is implying that the future can only be viewed by looking back on it when you're older and have actually lived through it. In other words, there is no way of knowing exactly what will happen until it has already happened.
"I'm so glad that I'm an island now" could mean the character is happy to be disconnected from reality when using drugs. (as an island is isolated from a main body of land)
"Coughed out my heart in the last stall
Now that the damage is done
I never miss it at all "
To me, this means that the character's drug addiction has taken away who they used to be and everything they used to love. And once they're high, they don't even miss it either.

Agreed. Lines on the face, the wrinkles of experience, of reality, tell the story, not some idiotic, superstitious palm...
Agreed. Lines on the face, the wrinkles of experience, of reality, tell the story, not some idiotic, superstitious palm reading. Brilliant, terse, biting sarcasm. I wouldn't say the 'best lyric ever' but very, very powerful.
