I enjoy and respect the great interpretations. Beautiful songs like this can mean different things to different folks. Here is my interpretation.
The song is about the profound impact Amsterdam had on a person going through tremendous pain. The strong sexual and drug inuendos dramatize the effect of the impact.
The first verse touches on the desirable appeal of the city that locks her in. She emphasizes the attraction. The second verse confirms why: she is seeking for an opportunity to reconnect to her world before this pain.
The chorus peaks both musically and metaphorically as she gives completely into the city. The profound impact of "giving herself" to Amsterdam is allowing her a chance to return to her former self, the person she was before all the pain and misery she is in.
She closes by emphasizing the surrealness of what Amsterdam has done for her.
[I'm sorry that I made you have to go through it - but I'm so proud of how you persevered and proved me wrong. I will always love you.]
