My interpretation of this song is the use of drugs and/or alcohol to "escape" a falling out in a relationship. The book he references, as mentioned above (Walden; or, Life in the Woods by Thoreau) is about achieving complete solitude essentially, which is what the drugs/alcohol represent, whereas the fallen relationship would essentially represent society.
A pretty basic theme with a very clever representation.
