I think he's talking about drugs in this song. The 'line' that he mentions in this song and other songs could be a line of cocaine or something similar. He says he was a king under its control because of how it made him feel so in control of everything and it gave him so much power in his head, but he knows it's also destroying him and he wants to stop using it. He says 'All that I've compromised to feel another high' shows that he knows the consequences of whatever drug it is but he compromises that to 'feel another high'. The dreams mentioned in the lyrics 'I dreamed you dreamed of me' could also be drug induced. 'Is it worth the price' can show the cost of drugs. 'I need to feel like you've let me go' shows how he wants to move on from it but he can't because of the addiction. 'I've had to break myself to carry on' and 'They say it's easy to leave you behind, I don't want to try' could show how difficult it is to quit once you start using drugs, because of the withdrawal and difficulty to function normally. Most people say this song is about an abusive or destructive relationship which could also be true, but I think that the lyrics can be taken more literally. A lot of Y
