I think the first part is about rehab and escaping from rehab to do drugs:
"do the laughs die when etc"
Lyne questions whether the docs in rehab are on his side or not:
"when convincing me that you're on my team" etc
Then it's about the media circus and fame, he thought they, whom ever they were, had been fair, also because it was the only way he could feed his habit, but in the end the price was very high.
The song is very much about himself in the end: he's life was also filled with false friend & people he didn't know if he could trust. The x-rey mind thing I guess it's about him reading people and seeing thing clearer while being high.
