I think either this song is just silly and about nothing deeper than the lyrics, or it's all about death (specifically, people they know who've died, or who are dead inside)
First verse is either about a drug mule who died because the condoms/balloons burst, or someone who's so dead inside that they have no emotions at all.
Second verse is about a guy who died of a drug overdose(remember Uma Thurman in Pulp fiction for the blows-his-nose imagery), or about someone who is so hopelessly lost in their addiction that they can't connect to anyone because they are dead inside.
Third verse is about a girl whose body was found in a dumpster, either she's dead or just has no self respect and is dead inside.
In any case, this song seems to be about drug addiction and dysfunctional people, and every time I hear this song I picture the camera slowly backing off to reveal people in their death scenes (the girl in a bed at a sleazy motel with a needle in her arm or cut open on a medical examiner's table revealing broken balloons. Then the guy keeled over on a coffee table covered in magazines, unsnorted lines, and fluid that leaked out of his nose. And finally to a girl lying face down in a dumpster with tangerines strewn about her hair)
