I think this song is about Phil's struggles with his lifestyle. He knows that he's his own man and tries to make the right decisions but is tempted by the wrong ones (such as heroine) and feels judged by those who don't understand. At the same time, he realizes the freedom that the wrong decisions offer and knows that a more sober lifestyle lacks these freedoms.
