First verse, explains what's going on, you are sickened by your protest, the use, and you're determined to end it.
The chorus means when the junky dies (withdrawl ends) you go to a better place
Second verse, bottled divinity is saying you know the drugs make you feel to good for anyone human to deserve to feel, you're way to small to handle such a thing and you drowned in it.
Third verse, the children can tell even how much better you are after you go to heaven, you used to look like an old man, a version of yourself, quite literally wasted. "a sinner at gun point" (gun point being told to sin) is what withdrawl is like, you know it's wrong, you want to do it, and there is a feeling so strong to use again, in the form of anguish and pain, it is figuratively holding a gun to your head. And then of course it's a warning that if you keep your monkey (addiction) fed, it will take you and beat you.
Just stumbled across this song, I'm not too much of a fan of the GJ song style, but I am a head automatica fan.
