I think it's about drug abuse or something
No time for goodbye he said as he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
Their bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes cause they'll find you, burn you
Then he said."

That right there seems to me that it could be about drug dealing. Don't put your life in someone's hands their bound to steal it away as in the person is a druggie you are continually buying and dealing drugs and in return that's basically taking your life away..you're fading away..

OR

The guy is fading away as in he no longer wants to be apart of the dealing/drugs and wants to just get away from it all. He's realizing what it's doing to him and just wants to get out..'get out alive'

This is my last time she said as she faded away
It's hard to imagine but one day you'll end up like me
Then she said..

To me that means she's overdosed or done drugs for so long and is dying. She's telling the person if you continue doing what you're doing you're going to end up just like me.

If I stay it won't be long till I'm burning on the inside
If I go I can only hope that I make it to the other side

I think that means he, the person with the drug problems wants to get out but doesn't know if he can. If he stays and continues to do what he does he knows it's going to further mess him up, and if he goes he can only HOPE that he makes it to the other side as in either getting clean, or literally making it because when dealing with drugs you can't really just stop dealing because most of the time the dealers and such will try and kill you. Therefore If you wanna get out alive, oh run for your life makes perfect sense.

I think you dead on, but one thing to consider is that the song may a little more general focusing on a vice someone has rather than just drugs. Think about it, addiction to any vice will slowly make you fade away. Fade away from your own being. Addiction to drugs, you forget who you are, addiction to sex, you forget who you are. It may be saying that you shouldn't indulge yourself in a vice, or even just indulge yourself in anything too much. "Burning on the inside" could also mean he's hurt on the inside, not so much physiologically but spiritually and morally. Your interpretation is very profound and i understand where your coming from.

To tell the truth when I hear this song it reminds me of the holocaust reference...I don't know it's just me

Sorry, for me its the drug deal. But personally it would be a good theme song for like a horror movie. That would be great. Cause the lyrics and rythem and melody is just soo unique. I think it was perfect though. This one right here If I stay, it won't be long. Till i'm burning on the inside If i go, i can only hope i make it to the other side. That makes me think it's about dying.

that is not about drugs at all. it's about relationships. 'don't hide your mistakes cause they'll find you, burn you' don't hide things that you've done that you shouldn't have, cause it's worse to make a mistake and then lie about it. 'don't put your life in someone's hands, they're bound to steal it away' if you love someone you're giving them the power to make or break you. and they almost always hurt you, stealing your life. 'This is my last time she said As she faded away It's hard to imagine, but one day you'll end up like me' she's saying i'm leaving you and i'm not ever coming back. the dude was a friend or someone who he trusted, and she was the girl he was involved with. no offense, but i don't think the drug take even made sense. and the holocaust? seriously? do you even know the lyrics?

i think the song has to do with how you always have a choice. you can turn back, but you need to do it quick before you cant stop. its like his addiction. he tries to stop and finally did. hopefully. anyway, he sings how you always have a chance to turn around and "get out alive".
