The lyrics at the beginning, "call it a split 'cause I know that you will" NOT spliff!!! Look at the official lyrics on the1975.Com. A split is when two heroin users split the bag evenly, the lyrics follow on to say "you bite your friends like chocolate" meaning the so called split isn't actually a split, the person is taking more than half and is so addicted to heroin he is screwing over his friend.
I am a heroin addict (clean now) and this is exactly what happens... my friend and I used to use in my car, we would buy a bag between us and my friend being the more addicted person would always take more than half and call it a split. It gets to a point that it isn't even worth arguing over so you just let them because you feel bad for them. We called syringes guns and Heroin chocolate because it smells like chocolate when smoked or when heating on the spoon, ready to "gun" (inject)... We have also had multiple run-ins with "boys in blue" and we have often been in car chases and thankfully never actually caught.
The song is undoubtedly about heroin addiction and the perils of using heroin
