What it's about
The song is about addiction, particularly the way over-prescribed painkillers in Appalachian regions have fed an addiction epidemic. It describes users who often move on to stronger drugs like heroin and who face the constant risk of overdose, which is why the line about not trying to kill yourself today stands out.
