That reminds me of shooting heroin. A "tiny sting" that leads to a "vacant flame": it feels powerful and even exciting, or at least it brings you peace, but it doesn't really mean anything, it's doing you harm.
The "Everywhere I've been..." line is so haunting.
"From that one tiny sting / To that vacant flame"
