"You said you can't get to heaven unless you get high
But there's no word of hell on the way back down"
It's like he's saying that he enjoys the feeling he gets from the drugs, like bein in heaven.
But on his way down from a trip it's like going trough hell.
"You said it's now or never,
You only live once"
Maybe he thought like, "Hey, I don't live forever so whats the deal, I'm going to die anyway I might aswell just get myself high".
"Would you be so quick to walk over to my grave?
You said you'll never be younger than you are tonight
Now I've never felt weaker in all my life"
I think he's saying that no one is going to miss him if he dies.
Maybe his drug dealer told him that the drugs would make him feel feel young again, but now that he is high he feels weak because he can't controll himself.
"You said it's only a one off, only a line
But now it's a circle, all of the time"
For me this sounds like addiction.
You'll start with one line (amphetamine or something) and then you'll build your way up until you are completely addicted.
"Tell me the truth
Are you addicted?
Tell me the truth
Are you addicted?
Tell me the truth"
Well atleast this backs up my point of view in the drug addiction theory.
"They say the poison's in the dosage and they must be right
Left with panic attacks and death riding our backs
It all looks so much worse on the way back down
I'm so fucked up since I hit the ground"
Maybe his drug dealer told him that it's not dangerous if you'll use it right, but now it feels like he is going to die.
I think this song is about drug abuse. The lines:
