This, for me, is the one song that sums up the whole album. It's executed perfectly, and the story is deep and moving. The 'girl' speaks Persian, because when Nikki ODed in 1987, it was Persian heroin.
"And though I hardly know her
I let her in my veins
And trust her with my life"
Nikki's dealer gave him this type of heroin for the first time, Nikki was drunk and the dealer offered him to shoot him up, causing him to instantly OD. He was then checked into a clinic and that's what the second part of the song describes.
