I think this song is about addiction and how one leads to the next with potentially the government being somehow involved in the advertising and profitting off indirectly brainwashing children to grow up to have addictive personalities so that the government can somehow profit from the illegal drug industry. Sugar having a triple meaning. Sugar in food can be addicting which could potentially rewire the brain to chase addiction. Sugar also refers to Aspartame, a sugar substitute that is used in common sodas that people drink and indirectly that is how addictive traits are formed from an early age from children drinking soda. Soda is the gateway drug that leads to everything else. Eventually that gateway leads people in society to start with lighter drugs like weed/mushrooms; hence the reference to hippies sitting around all day. Weed expands the gateway directs people to drugs like heroin. Heroin has a slang term; sugar. Injection needles have a slang term; gun. Which explains the small gun that fits in a pocket. Russian roulette refers to the possibility of OD'ing when chasing a heroin drug high every day. 'Every time I try to go where I really want to be it's already where I am cause I'm already there' line references that the addicted drug user is 100% happy in their moment of addiction and they don't want to change their life.

This line could also connect to Mushroom People line cause shrooms are a common drug in hippie culture. "Girl lashes out at me" line refers to drug withdrawl. "Fucking kick her" refers to the act of shooting up and kicking the withdrawl effect. "People chasing me down" line refers to friends or family trying to help the heroin addict that doesn't want to give up their addiction. The entire ending line from "Sit in my desolate room" refers to being alone and they've destroyed all of their friendships and are upset and angry about the whole situation, but they continue to shoot up heroin and all their problems go away.
