The chorus repeats, Another highlight of being quote, “How it gave you everything, and took your life away. I put you on an aeroplane, destined for a foreign land. Hoped that you’d come back one day, to tell me everything’s okay.” These lines arguably being the most pulling, and sad. In denying someone’s death, he explains that he’s putting them on an aeroplane, in route to a far away place”, to say he’s decided that no one has died, they are only on a long trip, and one day, they’ll return, and everything will be normal. This highlights the adolescent like delusions we willfully enter, as adults, to self-soothe and avoid processing pain. For the last chorus, it takes a darker, heart-wrenching turn, as he puts himself on this aeroplane, a metaphor for death. He ends it with “hope that I’ll come back some day, to tell you that I really changed.” - which in reverse, manipulates the listener into the same delusion and soothes them in advance, to help avoid processing their pain, for his metaphoric trip. This mirrors the overarching contradiction of “Heroin”, using this as raw, harsh and extreme metaphor that tells a story of a desire to leave a toxic place, but also highlights the innate fear of change holding him back. The song fades out, and is followed by the next record, titled, quote, “Change”.
