Craig Nicholls is not getting high on "trends". He's getting high on TRIMS. As in, marijuana trims (the shake, the excess).
Also, I agree that line 2 is: "Lives are goddamned ruined like the RUNS". A vocal run is a series of notes sung by a singer, high and low on the scale in quick succession. Craig is famous for his falsetto (his ability to use a high singing voice). Perhaps here, he fears he has ruined his singing voice, along with a few lives.
For the final line, I'd also like to submit that he could be saying: "Anyway, I SOLD what I could find".
Overall, this song is about Craig's desire to be "taken back" to simpler days, before his dreams came true... and got ruined.
