He's comparing the use of crystal meth with the stages of a relationship with someone and how now he's just chasing the dragon and wishing that it was the way it was in the beginning of his relationship with someone. In the beginning, there is the magical days, then in the end it is all so old and tiring and there's nothing there, there's no sex in the relationship anymore, etc. You're just there. The stages of addiction and dependence are just like friendship, dating, marriage. For example, when you try a drug, it's like acquiantance, then you try it more and more to the point where you're doing it socially and this is the friendship phase, you're in the dating phase when you're doing it alone, this is addiction, marriage is dependence.
@accebere Bingo! Not sure I agree with your details on the phases, but you have the overall theme exactly. He's comparing the stages of a relationship to getting hung up on a new drug. Starts out all bright and shiny, then ends with you going through the motions trying to get the same feeling you had when you first tried it, but just repeating the actions without success and ending in misery. This song is one of the five best songs of the 90s IMO.
