Cover art for War On War lyrics by Wilco

To me this sounds like a drug addiction. You are not my type writer, but you could be my demon

He's saying that I dont need to be on drugs to write songs, but drugs could destroy him.

I think the message is that he has to suffer withdrawals, the low ends of drug addiction to truly give up. that's why he has to die to win the war (to give up drugs)
