I'm a righteous heartache, never gonna let you get close to mine
I'm a punk every time, give me a little room and I'll spit in your eye
I'm a red-blooded sickness
I'm a fine line teaser, never been nothing but a cheater
etc. etc.
From what I glean, this song is about how heroin robs you of your conscience and I particularly like the line "Cause it don't mean all that much does it? But we never really had a choice" which is exactly what it feels like to be an addict.
Actually, I get the feeling that the entire album is a struggle with addiction - heroin in particular. Love it.
Sounds like the "I" in this is heroin.
