As much as I respect the interpretation of MrBrightside7, and do not any opinion is wrong/right, I have a completely different view. The song is about DRUGS. At roughly the beginning half of the song he is talking to the drugs themselves and the end he is talking to a fellow druggie.
In my opinion there are may references to drugs in the lyrics but I am too lazy to type it all out. Also spin magazine had the lyrics which contained this
"sorting out the long pipe
hoping that the copper fits
make sure you stay oblivious"
obviously it is not in the studio recording but it further suggests my opinion.
Actually maybe he is talking to a lover about hiding addiction from them.
I don't know the lyrics are so vague and I love MrBrightside's post as well great job dude.
