The song is about drug addiction and the duality of man's nature. Yin and yang. You can't be "clean" until you've been dirty. "Strapped in for the ride," means you're high and now you got to ride it out, wherever it takes you, through the addiction. You're clean, you want to get high, you're high, you want to get clean, "but your hands are always tied."
