Are you sure? The rest of this abum's storyline is pretty clear to me, but I don't remember any other refrence to drugs in it. I know this song is about Nikki trying to escape from Dr. X, but I don't fully understand the needle parallel. I think the heroin idea of it may be too literal, but I can't think of any other explanation.

-Operation: Mindcrime, near the beginning
"Had a habit doing mainline,
Watch the dragon burn"

(In the off-chance you're not good with Drug slang: Mainlining indicates injection, Heroin is referenced with Dragon imagery, in particular "Chasing The Dragon.")
The needle reference in this is literal as well as possibly metaphorical. Dr. X used Nikki's Heroin addiction as leverage to keep him under control as his assassin in the storyline.

What world are you living in, haha. Obviously the story line isnt very clear to you as Nikki is a heroin addict and thats what the story revolves around
