I believe this song is about drug abuse and/or the addiction to prescription pain meds, both of which can be deadly. Instead of working through their pain or inner turmoil some people will start using drugs again or prescription pain meds, it becomes a viscous cycle. This cycle of self medication can lead to death, it's like trying to a solve a problem with another problem instead of getting alternative help like a therapist or psychiatrist for example.
