Animal Soul

I came across this video on YouTube.

Is he addicted to his lover or does he love his addiction?

Which is it?

Some of the lyrics:

~A thousand needles of love~ 

~All intravenous at once~

~Monkey nature of man~

~Keeps me awake in a dream~

~To perfectly change this chemical in my brain~

To have a monkey on one's back is 1930's narcotics slang for to "be addicted." 

On the video:

~Smoke~

~Floating through a cemetery~

~Scary green eyes~

 I hope the real meaning is that he is addicted to his lover.
