Maybe the "he wrote the songs/that I hoped to write someday" part means wanting to write passionate songs, but only getting intense feelings from drugs - making drugs the fuel for creativity. If someone decided to write a song, they'd be pretty damn disappointed if the only experiences powerful enough to mention were chemically induced. Empty life, "wasting all my time", makes sense.
I think Cameo is right.
