“Hope you don’t think my obsession is awkward” is pretty literal, in reference to people (such as myself) who are understandably uncomfortable with hardcore drug addiction, or even people who are worse, and completely write-off those who do drugs for fun. She’s asking for people such as these to have an open mind, and to not judge her for her addiction, like how Born This Way asks people to have an open mind and not be judged by their sexuality, ethnicity, etc. [the difference here is that sexuality and ethnicity are not choices, but I won’t get into that]
The questions, “Where’s my stash?” and “Can you feed my love?” both imply addiction, especially in the way they, and the robotic “Princess high die / Princess die high” are repeated, in the same way she repeatedly speaks of touching herself in So Happy I Could Die, to illustrate the idea of continuous addiction, unquenchable dependence, and in the case of the robotic “high die”s, an emotionless routine that is so everyday that it is no longer something that is done out of necessity, desire or even thought, it’s just done because it’s done. Think: eating during a meal time (breakfast, lunch or dinner) even though you’re not hungry.
In the line, “there’s no particular thing that I want,” she’s saying that she’s not doing weed for any reason in particular, she just wants to get high, and doesn’t care how she does it (there’s no particular drug that I love). ”When I can’t find my stash, I give up.” In other words, when she’s not high, she’s not happy; she’s left to face reality, but the addiction is still lingering. This makes it impossible to live because she’s implying that when you’re high, you don’t see things clearly, and when you’re sober, you’re not content, and can only think about getting high.
The song kind of glamorizes drugs and marijuana in a very ironic way, verbalizing the dark, oftentimes unnoticed undertones of the act, but allows it to be seen as a fun-loving bong song at face value.
