to keep going on the mythological symbolism, from wiki: "Heimdall is the guardian of the gods who will blow the Gjallarhorn if danger approaches Asgard. His senses are so acute that he can hear the grass grow and he can see to the end of the world; he also requires no sleep at all. He is moreover the guardian of the Bifrost Bridge." the bifrost bridge being the one between asgard (land of the gods) and midgard (land of the mortals).
there is an easy connection between enhanced senses and using drugs as a source of inspiration, but i think this idea teams up nicely with lepidoptera3's thoughts on the prometheus reference. he is cursed because drugs had been an integral part of his artistic process, his way of carrying fire down from olympus. at the same time they are what halts it as well, distancing him from other sources of inspiration, such as his love for nina twin. then there is also the expense, both in terms of money and the effect on his brain and body.
just wanted to toss that in for people to think about.
