I think this song can discribe all vices, all addictions, and all mental health problems. The word "sober" relates it to a type of addiction or vice, but when I look at it, I can see how this could speak to a wide range of mental health issues. For me, as a person who has dealt with depression all of their life, I see it everywhere in this song.
The idea of not wanting to be who you are, and trying to escape it, knowing that you're only digging yourself deeper, but feeling there is no way out really connects to me.
And "When it's good, then it's good, it's so good till it goes bad
Till you're trying to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry, never again
Broken down in agony just tryin to find a friend"
describes perfectly how it feel to really start spiraling downwards.
