I think the song is about ronnie's experience in prison. Not just based on the video, but also on an interview from las Vegas weekly that was given while Ronnie was in prison. He mentions in the interview that he faced death everywhere he turned in prison, and you really had to man up. This is explained in the first few lines. Especially the line, "everywhere I go I drag this coffin just in case." as for "snake eyes everytime you roll with crooked dice." is he couldnt get away with having to go to jail at all. The darkness he talks about may be prison, or it could be his past that haunts over him. He runs from his past as in the drugs and the fight. He talks about how he lost himself and his mind in the drugs and he's trying to get out of it. And he stated in the interview that he didn't deserve to be in jail, but he deserved to be there for karmic purposes for what he's done in his past. "i can't believe I'm actually meant to be here."
