Yep, this song is definitely about for drug addiction (almost certainly heroin), using romantic love as a metaphor for the addiction. "I've got a little gun here comes oblivion" refers to the needle and the feeling of oblivion that follows. The delivery man is almost certainly a dealer who ODs on his own supply, and the church mouse waiting for the cat to come back is a reference to cravings and 'monkey on the back.' The one part I'm not sure about is the "all good children go to heaven" bit - I don't quite see what this has to do with the rest of the song. It sounds cool though. The Shai Hulud cover is great, I don't think it's quite as good as the original though, but that's just my opinion!

I would think that all good children... means that we all die of something.
