Awesome, personal song. At first glance it sounded like he was talking about a girlfriend he had in the past that he had to give up who made him sin and it is possible it could be about that, but Dan's description i think is better considering the magazine interview. That would explain the first line well since they won't "put you away" (I'm thinking jail?) for being a bad girlfriend but they would for drugs. However, I don't get the line, "Be sure this time you stay away, from all the beauty of today" because you would think that he would want his mother to get over her drug issue and see today's beauty without her problem.
