I agree that this song has a double meaning and could be about a destructive love or (and) a drug addiction.
“I used to like being on the line”
can refer to being tied to addiction and drugs like cocaine that are often consumed in lines.
“Don’t wanna have to lose all that I've compromised to feel another high. I’ve got to keep it down tonight“
The character is rehabilitating and knows that drugs are not good for him.
But still he feels this hunger (craving).
“I was a king under your control”
Under the influence of uplifting drugs you can feel like a king.
“I had to break myself to carry on . No love and no admission . Take this from me tonight . Oh-oh, let's fight.”
It’s hard to stop an addiction. Certain areas of the mind keep crying for more substance for a long time. Stopping an addiction can be compared with a fight.
This song empowered me often in my fight. Thank you.
