The song is, I think, about excess. It's about the cycle you fall into where you overdo the drink-drugs etc. and feel bad and wreck friendships and so on, but then you do it over and over again because it becomes a habit and then an addiction and then a way of life.
And all the time a part of you knows you have to stop, but you can't. And the people who stay your friends during this descent are your real friends, and you cling to them.
