Many great thoughts on this song. I think it's about the existential angst that comes with being young and/or drug addiction. The very thing that you do to be more than just "in the middle" and feel alive is what ultimately kills you. Sometimes it kills your spirit, like the last verse communicates, or sometimes it literally kills you, which is alluded to earlier on.
Believe me, i've lived the life and lost a dear friend to drugs, and this song is spot on. The shit gets old, but you keep doing it because while you tell yourself that it will get better, you realize that the best you can hope for is to keep it on the road, in the dark, with one headlight.
