I'm pretty sure this is a drug song, specifically cocaine. "Snowing in your brain" is a pretty universal coke reference, and the whole "every one turns into seven" is a pretty common description of how one line of coke tends to lead to another and another and another. It's not necessarily even an addiction thing, it's just that taking a line or two of coke very rarely means only doing that much. Usually one or two lines put your brain into what I call "coke mode" where you don't think you're that fucked up and doing another line is comparable to having another beer. That's just my personal experience with coke though.
I'm glad Placebo released this song cause the way I interpret the lyrics (accurate or not) gives me a song that asks me questions and makes me check my life for a second to make sure I'm sane and safe. I'm heavily into the club and rave scene which means things can get a little crazy in the party department and this song makes me stop for a second and evaluate my life to make sure I'm not going too fast or getting in too deep.
