I don’t think the song is about drug use so much as depression and suicide. The line “well I got the message, stay among the living” always makes me think the person in the song was thinking of killing themself until they got that message (whatever it was). Also the lines “this was not preplanned, but after some calls, I decided to return to the other side of the world” again make me think they were thinking of suicide until they talked to someone on the phone. A dark interpretation perhaps, but ultimately hopeful.
