Coke is a strong vasoconstrictor. So yeah, this song is about drugs. But it might be about drugs that have a vasodilation effect. (thc is a mild vasodilator)
And yes, it's about being stuck in school.
A lot of this song has got to be some kind of scene from or related to the Gamehendge story, right? The story seems to be largely a soap opera of spying, intrigue, torture, double crossing, etc. Two characters seem to be facing off in this song, one of whom seems to have some kind of special sense that allows them to see through the other's poker face and recognize them as an enemy full of wrath.
Of course, the whole Gamehenge story has to owe some of its creation to various altered states experienced by it's writer.
What I get is that there is this Jezmund, a mercenary warrior who is easily bought is facing someone who is possibly begging for their life to be spared and willing to "talk" and give something away about Locust the Lurker (yet another spy).
But after the "who can unlearn" chorus, Jezmund seems to be in a different state. After plugging the distress tube up tight (shooting up?), Jezmund watches words flutter away and experiences the sense that all emotions are harmless and kept at bay.
Just about everything I've read about opiates like Heroin describes this kind of sensation.
Just my take, but I'm probably confusing what I can of the ending for all I know.
Here's my take:
