From what I read here, the narrator is a drug addict ("It's the chemical way to serenity"; "You're the antidote for solitude injected in my veins"), far beyond the point of no return, which he openly admits ("I walk alone / On the path of self-extinction").
It appears he's lost his faith, which probably led him to seek consolation in drugs, and he seems to blame society for that. We're given no evidence to conclude whether that's the case, however (unless the songs in the album are all linked in this "loose story" I've been hearing about, but haven't yet explored; and evidence is present in the other ones).
In the end, though, this is the confession of a broken man, a cry for help from someone who's lost all hope.
Also happens to be my favourite song in this album. Should really look at the other lyrics in-depth, though...
