It has already been validated from Bernard Sumner himself that this song is about drug addiction. Here is the breakdown.
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I've got this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The singer is getting high.
I don't care 'cos I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the thing that costs you too much
The singer is quite carefree now, but the drug is costing him too much probably in both time and money.
*I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
He never thought that his life would be totally dominated by drugs.
When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
Actually, a neighborhood friend of mine turned into a drug addict and changed dramatically. He was no longer the same guy we knew, and the others was pretty shocked at what happened to him. It's quite a transformation.
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there's just no way of knowing
The price of drugs is that you have no future. There is no way for them to know precisely what their future is anymore ... if any.
Now that we've grown up together

the manager made them change it afraid it wouldn't pass on radio, but they still sing these lines on live shows, never the 'Afraid of what they see' line ;)

@ckdamascus - I think you got it backwards, (or Bernard Sumner does haha). This guy is recovered, be doesn't need drugs. A simple thing like the morning sun is his drug. I've been on both sides of dependency. This is how recovering people think; they're happy to be sober a day at a time.
