So my take on this is that it is pretty obviously about Jarvis/Pulp hitting the big time and realizing that it is shyte. Nothing too shocking there.
The only things that think are worth adding are that i think cocaine psychosis/paranoia plays a big role in this song (as with quite a few songs on This Is Hardcore).
Specifically, the lines:
I was having a whale of a time until your uncle Psychosis arrived.
Obviously about drug psychosis and paranoia.
Why do we have to half kill ourselves just to prove we're alive?
I'm here whenever you need me
And whenever you need me
I won't be here.
In the obvious sense, this is about excessive coke use, and how it sucks the life out of the hard partier. And on a slightly different take, the cost that this has on those around the partyer: they're there to party, to get amongst it, but as a result of this high life and celebrity, they're pretty much a sh!thouse friend now, and essentially a sh!t person.
