I'm drawn with this song... I love it much and actually cover it with my band but have never fully understood it.

I think it's about the drug, that he's hopelessly addicted to, but I also think it refers to a woman who he is also addicted to, in the way that he's addicted to the drug.

I think this song is just basically about this guy who is lusting for this girl and at the same time is also crazily in love with her and would do anything for her,but she on the other hand just wants the sex(nymph=a female who has excessive sexual needs),so she plays along,does him and then leaves him,which shatters his heart.but later she realises that he really loved her and she tries to get back to him,but she can't because he is now emotionally dead after the experience she has givin him!
screw the video,its just commercial shit anyway
love the band and the song
cradle of filth fucking rocks!!!!

A guy is in love with a beautiful young woman so she is his nymphetamine girl....

When he dies she brings him back from the grave with her vampiric powers.

It's about how he missed her when he died.

The interpretation of this song can vary; the catalyst of course is whether you choose to interpret Nymphetamine Fix or Nymphetamine (Overdose). Either way, the subject of this song is the addiction to a Nymphomaniac.
While Nymphs are widely considered the metaphor upon which this song is written, I would disagree. It’s likely a play on words, Dani Filth’s lyrics have always been astoundingly poetic with a masterfully deft understanding of the English language, and as with any linguist the bending, alternate, and assumed ways words may be used are fondly used. The title likely has a dual meaning, suggesting the beauty of a fictional Nymph by title but with the lust of a “nympho”. Assuming we’re going to dissect the whole of Nymphetmine, I’ll do this based upon the lyrics of (Overdose).
The song begins with a description of anguish, “…When in despair, my darkest days/ Ran amok and forged her face…” Stating blatantly his deprivation of joy in life until it led him to this woman. The next line states, “From the fairest of handmaidens to/ A slick perverted wrath.” This is the first indication of the songs reference to a nymphomaniac rather than a Nymph. He describes this woman to at first glance be a beautiful creature when he discovers her sexual appetite. The second indication of this is “She was all three wishes:/ Sex, sex, sex” again, he is not describing a mere mythical creature.
He later describes himself as, “Hooked on her disease” and that “Something passed between us/ Like a bad crack.” Suggesting something in this relationship took a negative turn. From there he states that “She haunted at the corners of my mind.” Or more simply, that despite what has taken place, he remains addicted to her, this unfortunately for the character, continues until, “She burnt me like a furnace/ For my future suicide.” Meaning exactly what it says: his manic adoration of her driving him insane until he claims his own life.
From there begins the “Fix” in which the second verse, sung by Dani describes his torment as she leaves him in the rain with naught but a rose, which led to his decision to commit suicide, and by the lyrics suggestion by use of a razor to his wrists.
The Chorus suggests that perhaps she regrets her actions, maybe even that she even continues to love him, and also brings us our third example of the dual meaning in Nymphetamine: “I could always find/ The right slot for your sacred key.” This is a sexual reference, describing her…abilities…to satisfy her former love. The rest of the song continues in a similar manner describing their lost love of one another, Dani dead, six feet in the ground, his heart, even in death, wounded and that he had dedicated his love to her and her alone.

So, I think and this is just my opinion, that it's about a man and woman who very much want to be together... under the wrong circumstances. The man wants to break it off because it's wrong but he can't. He's addicted to her, to her beauty, and probably to the sex.
she still wants him, but she's like a siren. She'll lead him to his death (literally or metaphorically)either that or she's hurt him once already.
but this verse.
"cold was my soul
and untold was the pain
i faced when you left me
a rose in the rain
so I swore to the razor
that never enchained
would your dark nails of faith
be pushed through my veins again"
means that she left him once and he doesn't want to get into it again.
and the chorus
"six feet deep is this incision
in my hear that barless prison"(he's hurt, emotionally)
"discolours all with tunnel vision
sunsetter"(she makes being together sound really great, but he knows it won't)
etc... I don't have to interpret the whole song. you get it.

No nothing to do with nymphos people....Though a nymph is simply referencing a beautiful woman. He is speaking of being addicted to her like a drug....mainly through sex...This lust, this vampiric addiction...Bared on your tomb, I'm a prayer for your loneliness...She's offering herself, mocking him and taunting him to take one more taste...seeing her like that weakens him and he has to have one more taste, can think of nothing else "tunnel vision" After words, her vampiric ways drain him and weaken him, and the cycle begins again....
