The song is about taking heroine.

"In the morning I pack up my gear and toss it in my carryall Run the wide load to the lip and watch the big core crack and glow"

he has his kit and his junk and heats it up to inject

"In the evening I undo my belt Split open and melt"

he injects himself and unties the belt from around his arm allowing the drug to give him a melting sensation that is commonly associated with opium based drugs

the next verse and bridge are fairly self explanatory from here
