We all know that Ben has a disease from being an alcoholic right? That's what most of his songs are about, overcoming alcoholism, relapse, withdrawal, excessive drinking, etc. including this one.
I'm not sure what the hell the comment about ayahuasca was getting at, but that's got to be the furthest from the actual meaning. This song is meant to empower those with addictions and help them to realize they can get through it no matter how hard it is.
"Take the color from your eyes" is a metaphor for being blind to the addiction in the first place, movies and tv shows often show blind people with white or cloudy eyes and lacking any color.
The line "time will not take the life from me" refers to his phobia of dying. "Show me what's left" is referring to his life as a sober person, often we lose ourselves in our addictions and wonder who we are without them.
Every single line in this song comes from a crippling (literally) alcohol addiction, and (as stated before) so do 80% of the other songs.
BB is top3 in my listening rotation, so don't confuse this more harsh comment as being a "hate" comment. It's just frustrating to see that no one does even an ounce of research into the bands they listen to. It's really not hard to get to know the artists that make up your playlist, YouTube is free...
