Lady Jane Lyrics

I don't know about the drug aspect of the song... sure, Lady Jane IS the other name for Marijuana, and the line "Chase the dragon" is slang for LSD (or was it heroin?)...

But, the song feels too sad to simply be about drug experimentation. The piano and the tempo add to this feeling. Maybe it's about a person slowly shutting themselves in because of their addiction? Maybe it's about losing said person who was once your friend? Maybe there's an entirely different theme - like others have pointed out, it could go hand in hand with a mental hospital or something in that vein.
