This song is about beating addiction. Eleanor is the drug:
"...I can feel from this side of the door, I can feel Eleanor"
Addiction is often a cycle where one fix is justified by the one before:
"...He said don't bring tomorrow to justify tonight..."
Addiction can occupy a person's thoughts, to the point of obsession:
"Eleanor trembles. Eleanor moans. Somehow, this body is someone she always has known..."
But in the end, he beats the addiction:
"She said please don't go. Please don't go! And she cried and she died in his arms and he cried nevermore."
I think the tag line in the title and chorus is simply about being high:
"The moon is full, the stars are bright and the sky is a poisonous garden tonight."
