Joey's talking about how he can trust this one friend and no one else because they can't keep anything he says secret. They're messengers to everyone else.

This song is about crystal meth. Staying up late, cleaning up messes both mentally and literally. "Trying to be honest 'cause I know I am on it" -- besides the fact that being "on it" is an obvious reference for those who do it... he's referencing how its easy to get overly zealous with ideas or conversations... you need to remember not to go too far. "everyone's talking and nobody's listening" -- heh, totally.

Er, I shouldn't say the song is about the drug itself, but rather a powerful introspective experience that comes from spending many hours or days awake on it.
