I think this song is about things like drugs and masturbation and how meaningless they are... As in "dumb love", they don't really love you, they're just tools to make you feel better.
"Keep you coming back for more", as in addiction.
"Alcohol, it's a lie", meaning that alcohol won't really make you feel better, it'll just get you drunk but then you'll feel worse afterwards.
"Stimulate the needle in your eye"--the needle, or the heroin, is blinding him from what truly matters.
"Touched myself, nearly went blind"--you know what they say about touching yourself...
"Couldn't find a way to live through the pain"...so he did drugs and drank too much to make all the pain go away.
"Couldn't get out of bed, ten ton bricks lying on my head"--maybe a reference to a hangover and how the things he "loved" only made his life worse.
"Persecute the crucified, kill a man for losing his mind"--because he kept getting in trouble with the law for an addiction that he couldn't get rid of.
