This is just my analogy of these song lyrics. I think they outline the premiss of the show and outline what families of addicts need to do to break this destructive cycle.
"Veins swell
You know me, Elle, enough to tell"
I think this part is just staing the fact that those around the addict know them well enough to tell when they are using and when they are not.
"Quick cut
Make your move, deliberate"
I think this part of the song is talking about how once a family decides to do an intervention, that it needs to be quick and deliberate and with everyone involved on the same page. It describes the process of letting the addict know that there is nothing you won't do to help them get better, and that there is nothing you will do to allow this to continue one more day. The "NO MORE" stage so-to-speak.
"With your own two feet and hand"
To me this implies that it is up to the loved ones to intervine before it's too late. Then, once the decision to act has been made, loved ones must stand together and stand their ground.
"No reprimand
Deliberate, demand"
I think this part talks about how in order to break the cycle of depandency,the loved ones must make it clear to the addict what consequences he/she will face if help is not excepted. Not by "scolding" or belittling the addict but by putting the consequences on the table, letting the addict make the decision, and for the loved ones to stick to the consequences they have set.
"Get back
This train's a comin' down the track"
I think this last verse referes to the act of stepping back and letting whatever happens happen. Whether the addict desides to get help or not is purely up to them. They cannot be forced to get help and loved ones must allow themselves to accept whatever choice the addict makes and move on with their own lives.
"Five steps you're over"
I think this lyric refers to the 5 stages of grief that come with any major life change. Change is hard and if one can make it through the stages of grief and reach the acceptance stage regarding their situation, healing can begin.
@dianamo67 furthermore, the song is about a depressed person struggling with the concept of suicide. it's only obvious in every single stanza - "five steps you're over" meaning the five stages of grief. that is directly from the artist, you dumb fuck.

@dianamo67 it's been 5 years since you posted this so you probably won't see this but I love your interpretation of this song. Beautiful.
