Set Me Free of My Disease

Tell me if the lyrics of this popular song sound like alcoholism. That may not be what was intended. But it sounds like it could be to me.

"Disease" -- Matchbox Twenty

...I got a disease deep inside of me,
Makes me feel uneasy, baby
I can't live without you,
Tell me what am I supposed to do about it.
Keep your distance from it,
Don't pay no attention to me.
I got a disease.

I think that I'm sick.
But leave me be while my world is coming down on me.
You taste like honey, honey, tell me can I be your honey?
Be, be strong, keep telling myself that it won't take long till
I'm free of my disease, yeah free of my disease.
Set me free of my disease.
