28 years later, and no one has even mentioned addiction.
"Hanging around for another round..." - of drinks.
"Seeing through your eyes/You've offered me to have a try..." - reads like maybe this person has been approached by their friends/family already, regarding their addiction. People who want to help someone with an addiction will often say things like "I wish you could see yourself like I/we do".
"Filters that I use give me an excuse/I take away what's real..." - people with substance abuse problems very often are trying to mask or escape some kind of pain or trauma.
"I wonder what it's like walking by your side, to think before I talk and to move at the same speed as you walk. I want to have a weight to keep me in your state I'm watching from above, I love it but it's not for me" - this entire verse reads like someone in the throes of addiction, and under the influence. They can't walk straight, can't keep pace with their friend, say inappropriate or hurtful things impulsively, and they can't find anything in their own life to anchor them to sobriety (or at least better impulse control), like their friends/family.
Finally, the last two lines of the second verse, and the last line of the chorus - "I'm watching from above, I love it but it's not for me", and "Until something stops me" - indicate that this person does not want to be like this, but they are utterly powerless to stop themselves, and end the destructive cycle.
