This song is absolutely about tweaking on crystal meth... in his secret tweaker pad... where they actually recorded their entire second album and shot the video for this song.
"i-c-e" = in case u a little out of the drug lingo ice is an extremely common slang term for crystal meth. And in case you aren't familiar with the effects of the drug, it goes something like this: you become delusional and incredibly paranoid, begin to think people are out to kill you - "and I just can't leave the pad, cuz I'd surely wind up dead, cuz I know they're out there waitin', and watchin' for me" , and furthermore it gets your blood pressure sky high and makes you incredibly hyper - when, mixed with delusional feelings of paranoia, may make one feel like, say, burning down their liquor store for no apparent reason.
The rest of the song he kinda talks about how he has to calm himself down, remind himself he's surrounded by friends and no one's really trying to kill him... to pass the time, and because he's tweaked out of his mind so he can pay attention to just about anything, he wrenches on his car, plays crossword puzzles, and is learning how to cook meth himself.
then the fear hits him again, this time for more legit reasons. I have heard that the "pad" they were using was illegally registered under their name or something... and even if that's not true, they had a bunch of sketchy-ass junkie motherfuckers coming in and out, and people fucking tripping out and probably causing a huge scene and a lot of noise, and people jacking his shit left and right, and them boys would always play their music loud as hell... and so basically he was shitting bricks thinking the cops were about to bust open the door any second and take him to the booty house, and if you listened to date rape, you know Brad's feelings about the potential for going there.
