when i first heard this song i always thought it was about watching someone or something die, and turning to drugs until reaching the same fate
the first 'white light's represent the deaths that the person saw, the alcohol being the introduction of drugs and the last white light being that person's own death due to substance abuse. the repetition of that verse symbolized the same thing happening to the next person, someone who was effected by the last person's demise. it keeps going.
