to me it's about addiction ..
if I could find peace, if this night bleeds
if I could lie still, as that grey hill (then I wouldn't need drugs)
but I can't - help myself
so the beginning of the song is about craving to get high
then it's like the drugs have kicked in - the song takes a turn into a dreamy phase
and suddenly it's calm (drugs kick in) collapsed here on this stone (!)
then the dark visions - the light through the smoke (!)
dizzy when I woke
I know no other way than straight on out that door
(and back into the addiction)
and I can't help myself
i like this interpretation. one thing i noticed is the peculiar way the last lines are sung. the way the words are slightly slurred and not enunciation makes it sounds like "and i kill myself," which could related to being suicidal from addiction/the come down
