I always believed that the song is about a mother who lost her child and she turns to drugs to deal with the pain. The line about the lock of hair in her pocket being from a little boy, is talking about her son's hair. She talks to angels because her son is dead and is an angel.
The first stanza is about her isolating herself and turning to the drugs to cope.
