To me this song seems like him or whoever embracing their addictions, and plenty self-aware that they're self destructing and they just don't give a damn. And people are trying to tell them to "wake up" like sobering up and it's just like WHY??? What the hell is there to wake up for? What do you want me to wake up and do? Do I have anything to do? Is there any reason I should open my eyes? This song is about saying "I'm a fuckup and I love it, I love being a fuckup, I never wanna do anything more complicated than getting a needle into a vein for the rest of my life. There is absolutely no reason in a world of infinite possibles that I shouldn't be a raging fuckup. "Now I'm drunk and I'm miserable and I like it" that's because being drunk and miserable is a helluva lot better than being sober and miserable. Hooked on junk pitiful yah well maybe I pity all you sober people in the world. "Look at that idiot working to support his wife and kids, doesn't he fuckin' have anything better to do?" Such as getting drunk and shooting some heroin and waking up for a few minutes so you can do it again. I love this band.
