the song is about a drug addict yes, and drugs... and most of the lyrics are literal...
'Borderline case' = a person on the edge, someone with problems shut out from the rest of their world, with no one to turn to and no where to go, a person on the borderline of life.........
'reinforced glass' = crack pipes are reinforced so they can be smoked out of.... look it up, this lyric is to the point......
'absent friends' = another literal lyric, can be taken in many directions, but mainly again this person has no people in their life........
'Passport photos, An elastic past, empty pockets' = this person has nothing to their name but their ID, no money, no anything;
'They think it is all... They think it's soul' = they=the addict, regard the drugs as what they actually feel, what they think the drugs make them feel, like they have a soul, like its everything they feel........
'All wrapped up on a swollen lip, He draws the warm pipe' = very literal here, all wrapped up on a swollen lip, the pipe is in 'his' mouth being smoked....
.....the rest later.... if i get any responses from this...... if not, the truth is too hard to bare, cause you just cant see....
@poett Oops... submitted that twice... but wanted to add what I think about "hungry ghosts".... the ghosts of the past are metaphorically hungry and need to be "fed." hunger is the addiction, and the food is the drugs

@poett Yep... this! My husband has BPD and this song never made sense to me until I met him and learned about his past.
