The comments about this song being about Robb when he was depressed (don't think him being on drugs has any relevance in the song ... can't pick out any obvious mention of a drug). Up to the verse with "our last goodbye" it is looking at a man seriously depressed and considering taking his own life.

The talk about murder is suicide (murder himself).

However the last two verses focusing on him fighting back and managing the depression (or at least turning a corner). Whereas before "our last goodbye" was questioning whether he should end it all, but the end the same line means something entirely different. "Our last goodbye" to those thoughts (of suicide) and depression.
