I think immediately discrediting the people who said this song might have to do w/ heroine is silly.
However let me finish, Its definatly not completely about drugs... but what better way to get to a place of sweet nothing than dope... I think that the overall tone of this song is bittersweet contentedness knowing you have nothing but not really being worried about it. I just think with peoples inside knowledge of how Lou reed was using in the 80's it would be dumb to completely ignore that influence.
