A metaphor for the dangers of escapism. Opiate drugs are the most literal comparison. The nirvana is just an illusion within the high, and the reality is that you're being devoured by a demonic monster. We all must be content with our day to day lives, and realize life can never be pleasurable at all times. Escapism removes us from life, however hypnotic and pleasurable it may be.
