this song is about drugs. Conor had a coke addiction- it is referenced in other songs, such as "Gold Mine Gutted". also, the reference on "paint the foil with the flame" is obvious- freebasing coke over foil, a flame beneath to heat it and inhale the smoke.

i love Conor.

I'm about 98% positive that its about black tar heroin because if you've ever seen it smoked it literally paints the foil with the flame. look it up, and it can be a very depressing drug, trust me.
