He was clean when he wrote this song. His referring to being lonely means he felt alienated by his bandmates, who were still on drugs, and having lost his lover while he still was on drugs. That the city is his only friend means he felt some connection with the city, who saw that he was trying to do better with his life, and watched over him. The "place I love" is with his friends, family, when everything was alright, before the whole mess happened, and he's wishing he could go back to those times. The end, he's listing off all the things he lost while he still was on drugs.
I don't think it's about getting high and forgetting all the important things, then realizing all the dumb shit you did. It's about after he got clean, the trouble he had adjusting to his new life, (the lonliness + depression he went through) then about regretting all the things he lost.
I agree....and he was clean you are right....the death of Slovak really hit him hard...but unfortunatly he relapsed a few years after they hit big.....nice anilization...you did your research!
