There is no mention of any girl in this song. It is not about girls or love or living life to the fullest, it is about drugs and death.
I had thought that the reference to drinking from a fountain pouring like an avalanche etc. was a reference to drinking alcohol, but after reading what is here, it is obvious that I was wrong. The song is about heroin. The references to smell are a giveaway. I guess the reference to drinking life from a fountain, etc. must relate to people seeking the intense experience of heroin. I've never tried heroin, but I gather the experience can be very intense.
Why do so many people insist on seeing drug references in so many songs? Because a lot of artistically talented people use heroin and write songs about it. An enormous number of good songs are written about heroin b/c it is a very powerful experience and influence for a lot of musicians. Anyone who's not comfortable with that can pretend the song is about a girl or living life to the max or whatever. It will still be about heroin.
