To me this song almost feels like a conversation between two old friends (unspecified level of connection).
They both start to experience the use of drugs as a solution to their apathy/depression.
One realized this will lead to nothing of substance.
One erroneously proceeds to fine this ^ the smartest response. Inflated ego ("no one gets me"), denial, further descent into the crevasse.
And it's sad. The lyrics "seem" to me to be the escaped friend experiencing the futility of trying to aid their fallen friend, mirroring the thoughts of their fallen friend experiencing the confusion and dismissal of the ones trying to provide help.

That's what I seem to hear. It resonates.
