Like others have stated, this song is about drug addiction, possibly Heroin. It's a rather somber message about the destructive impact of addiction and escapism on one's mental and emotional well-being.
81, mentioned through the track, has many possible references, like in biker culture with the Hell's Angels, but is also likely to be Aspirin; 81 is the imprint number on the pills. While you cannot get addicted to aspirin, it may just be a reference to drugs themselves, since most of the song talks of it like it's a more serious addiction. A good, clear indication is the mention of a tray, which is commonly a foil one used to prepare and cook drugs.
