this song is haunting yet peaceful. i can see how a drug addiction could relate to it, but to me its about being in love with someone who is perfect in your eyes, and they love you as well, but because of a personal setback you are afraid to go further or engage in a deeper relationship with that perfect person. in my mind the setback is a mental disorder such as depression, which would relate to the "Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life, only a frozen still life" lyric, because of the emptiness that is felt by people suffering from depression. also, in my experience, there is a natural tendency to distance yourself in relationships when suffering from depression, ("Better stop before it goes too far") because of fears that either you or the other person will be unable to handle the illness. this song does have a tone of hopeless, lost love that is beautiful yet so tragic.

Your perspective on the lyrical meaning of this song is spot on in my perspective. I made a stupid account just to tell you that.
