Well, this song is actually a little bit more complex. It has a double meaning. Yeah, the pcp trip makes sense, it's obviously about someone addicted: the alabaster hands are the hands of someone who's been using drug for a long time, so the veins are protruding and they look like alabaster. But still he's like an angel, someone different than normal people, someone who wants to fly higher. Because of his difference he's "an anomaly" so he can't fit in the everyday life and angeldust is a way to fly higher. Nevertheless the wings can't take the weight of the fall, he doesn't know "all the pain he's gonna find" in life, even after these trips, where his interior world gets clearer. In the end it's a metaphor played beetwen the image of an angel as a different being, and the angeldust, the drug.
