I agree with most of what's been said. Disappointed no one has pointed out the subtle and not-so-subtle double meanings in the song which AiC did a lot of. Like a lot of their stuff the secondary meanings mostly refer to heroin. 'Heart beating slow,' as in emotionally, but also the physically depressive effects of smack (slowed breathing and heart rate). Also, tho "rock" is usually associated with coke/crack, heroin sometimes comes in "rock" form too; giving "...on this rock..." a second possible meaning.
