I am fairly sure this is about heroin. Black honey (black tar?) I think it is mostly about the need to be high, how it is an insatiable habit, and how it negatively effects the friends and family. Every time they try to quit, they go right back at it. Which is true with most heroin addicts, or most addicts of any sort. "This time, I'll get it right." There is an urge to stop, and they are trying. They do not understand why this addiction happened to them, and why they can't stop hurting their friends and family. Maybe I'm wrong, but that was my take.
