To me, it sounds like he's singing about an addiction... Once you get the feeling it - (once you've tried it) wants you back for more - (you get hooked) Says it's gonna heal it but - (you say you'll get better) you won't make the call - (you think you have it under control) One step back you're leaving it now it's moving on - (you left it, and now your addiction gets worse) Why won't you believe in it - (why won't you realise your problem) 'till it's gone? - (until it's too late) and the line about it being ethereal, the affects of your addiction... For me this song will always be about addiction.
