Hussey's lyrics are famously impenetrable but suspect this one is about drugs.
The serpent = a needle?
Ash on the carpet and dust on the mirror = smoking drugs?
Chasing shadows and the dreaming comes clearer = effects of drugs?
I'll be craving, the pleasure's all mine = cravings of addict?
Candles flicker and the devils dance on the wall = effects of drugs?
