I think it's about his denial of an ended relationship and the pain he feels without her... or him - your choice; he goes out looking for her but can never find her, so he goes downtown after he mentions he needs a distraction and puts drugs in his body. The drugs are the distraction and since he's distracted (high/drunk/whatever) he steps back up and he's the life of the party; the heat may be another person (?). It's cyclical, the days are slow cause he's sober; the nights fast cause he's having a blast under the influence, numbing the heartache only to wake with it once again... in my opinion. Awesome song though. The first time I heard this song I felt so happy listening to it for some reason.
