"I don't want to be the one who rides flame
I don't know her name
I don't want to go where the seekers all go
I don't want to go"
First is so anti-drugs. seekers all go, to get new experiences etc.
"You can feel anything you want to feel (x2)
and call it real
but I don't want to be the one who rides flame (x2)]"
-whatever he feels while on drugs will just be like artificial to him.
"I can't complain though I'm wrapped up in chains
I can't complain
everybody's got the right to be free
but that's not me"
people beleive drugs take them to another place another world, but he is so tied down to his life that he believes he should just accept it.
"Hit the flame, burn a hole in my brain
never be the same
try to take it slow, but she's pushing me to go
where I don't want to go"
-and finally he takes the drugs. flame can be referring to the kind of drug. but burn a hole in his brain could be killing of brain cells or any effects drugs have, and now that he has experienced it he will never be the same, the girl (possibly girlfriend) is still pushing him to do more or continue it.
i think it is about drugs.
