This is my favorite song on this album. Trent is so fucking awesome.
To me this song has nothing to do with drugs and that's just for tools.
"Hallucinate in high fidelity
The pieces of a plan
Construction of the highest quality
The blood from my own hand"
/\ This is describing his creative process\/
"A line of lyric looping in my head
The body listening
"It doesn't really matter anymore
Yes it doesn't mean a thing" <This is how he feels sometimes or has felt strongly in the past
"I've gotta let go
I've gotta get straight
Why'd you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away"
He knows what he has to do, but that doesn't make it any easier. He knows he fucked up in the past, and forgot his mission.
"An effigy so wondrous to behold
Statements so profound
A place to bury everything I did
And burn it to the ground" <Now he is realizing the importance of his work, how he took his duty or responsibility for granted.
"A fire illuminates the final scene
The past repeats itself
I cannot tell the difference anymore
I cannot trust myself" <Now he remembers his mission, but it's different now. He's the same guy, but an adult now.
"I think I could lose myself in here" < He really just loves doing what he does, making music
"It doesn't really matter anymore
Yes it doesn't mean a thing" < This is how he feels sometimes.

@randylic go get addicted to heroin for about a year then give it another listen.

And as for it "being for tools", despite what your opinion may be, it CAN happen to anybody... especially considering when 80% of users these days get started off prescription drugs given after surgery, an accident, or some other reason that doctors hand out opiates like Halloween candy.

I think he is more talking about losing himself in his music, and he uses drug metaphors to make that comparison. So agreee with you.
