Well, nobody has gotten it correct. The lyrics are directed towards Layne's father (a heroin addict himself). Basically, Layne's dad came back into his life after he made it big, with the sole purpose of extracting money from him to feed his own addiction. "Call me up congratulations ain't the real why" echoes that perfectly. Also..."You insult me in my home, you're forgiven this time"....and..."Once again you see an in". And the last verse spells it out perfectly.
Very interesting interpretation. And you may have a great point. We'll never know the truth, but the song is clearly is about heroin addiction and the self-hatred that comes along with it. Maybe some of that self-hatred is transposed onto Layne's father.
