Not sure about the drugs to be honest. I think it's more about going out partying, trying to pretend that you're having a good time clubbing, getting drunk, having a laugh etc. after a break up.
"Every second is a lifetime,
And every minute more brings you closer to god"
Every minute more brings you closer to God - doesn't want to waste time, wants to go out and have fun partying, not "dying" and waiting to get closer to god so to speak.
"And you see nothing but the red lights,
You let your body burn like never before"
Red lights - red light districts, partying, drugs as well (but not just drugs), alcohol, sex etc. Your body burn - I think that's a fairly good description of when you go out, let your hair down and just go out purely to get smashed and have fun.
"And it feels better than love,
Yeah it feels better than love"
As it says on the tin - this partying etc is better than the relationship you were recently in.
"Turn away, turn away, close your eyes, you can runaway,
It's not enough"
Basically the partying/going out is him turning away from the relationship, closing his eyes at how hurt he is, or how much he loved the girl, and running away from the pain, but, despite pretending that it is "better than love", ultimately, "it's not enough".
"Another second in the sunshine,
A decade in the dark taking part in a dream,
Have you forgotten what she looks like?
Or do you only see what you want to believe?"
Not quite sure about the first two lines, but the bottom two lines are asking whether he has truly forgotten the girl, or whether he's just seeing her in negative way/not picturing her at all to try and trick himself into thinking he's alright about the breakup/moving on.
"I see the lights through the rain, oh tonight, but they never change,
So what is love?"
He sees the red lights, can see the partying, but at the end of the day, it's just the same, it's not fulfilling like being in a relationship is. And if he truly does think this is "better than love", what exactly is love?
