This song brings up many meanings for me. It is also very relevant to my situation at the moment (being ignored by someone I like).

The question pertaining to Morpheus is a hard one. In my opinion, when he is talking to Morpheus and attacking him...it is because morpheus isn't supllying him with any more dreams, seeing as morpheus primarily presents visions of humans in dreams (his lover).

The overdose part may be tied to sleeping pills, as he wants to escape to his dreams where he can see her again (although, as mentioned before, Morpheus is denying him this).

Then towards the end he is justifying his 'drug' use and giving morpheus a reason to present him with an image of his lover by saying

"No holding back now! Give me the real thing! I've got a reason When I am alone"
