Great song! I have this album; it's worth it to buy the whole thing. (Yes, I ate the whole thing!) I can't really confidently decipher the meaning, especially as it applies to the title, which is tough to connect to the lyrics.

But let me take a stab here. It sounds like it has something to do with a non-repentant drug user who basically uses and abuses his true friends, and buys fake 'party' friends with drugs: "you held your ties with drugs and lies."

There's also the line "you'll only escape for a little while," as in a drug trip.

The rest of the lyrics, though, are tough to pin down. "But it's nothing; you're fighting for something..." Unless that line is sarcastic, I have no flippin' idea here folks and I could use some help god darn it thanks
