I understand the numbers to refer to drug addiction. You take "one more hit" to make you feel good, to forget about your problems "to make it right". But you can't stop there, it feels so good you have to do it again, so every time you have just one more hit, it ends up being more like seven "but every one turns into seven". "Now that it's snowing in your brain" is describing what it feels like after taking so much of whatever drug. "Even ten will not placate you" - not even ten hits will make you feel better, you can't forget your problems/pain
That being said, I think "slow motion suicide" refers to how, by doing large amounts of drugs, you're just slowly killing yourself. I get a picture of a guy sitting in a dirty room doing heroin ~ slowly killing himself
