This song uses both heroin as a metaphor for a toxic relationship and this relationship as a metaphor for a heroin addiction. Heroin is highly addictive and its users often experience multiple relapses on the path to recovery, and so is toxic relationship. It’s said to be incredibly painful, thus easy to fall back into old routines. In this song he both describes his experiences with falling back into a pattern of hooking up with an ex and its being a very toxic, addictive relationship, and also falling again into his addiction to heroin.

This song was not intended to make the album ‘Ok, I’m Sick’ and was requested by the label extremely last minute. That is why it is produced by Josh Katz instead of the album’s producer, Noah Shain.
