Well, I think this song is about the songwriting process and feeling like you have nothing to say/can't say anything now that you're clean.
It also kinda reminds me of the Coen brothers movie "Barton Fink" with the whole "self-destructive artist" who drinks when he can't write. Sadly, I think I kind of idolize that.
I also think that he's coming to terms with the fact that without a vice (drugs or alcohol) the creative process is going to be harder because he's not just having words coming out of him that just flow and work.
Long story short: it's hard to write something because of ridiculous amounts of self-doubt/loathing.
