The song’s title can be interpreted as lining up in single file for drugs (supposedly from a dealer). In this case, specifically heroin. Note the line “All we got to show what we really are, is the same kind of scars”.
Single File Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here in line where stupid shit collides
With dying shooting stars
All we got to show what we really are
Is the same kind of scars
And looking at you all I see is
You're waiting for something
[Chorus]
Single file
You're a murder mile
You idiot kid
Your arm's got a death in it
[Verse 2]
If you're choking up, take this paper cup
But there's a price that you'll pay
For trying hard to become whatever they are
And saying whatever they say
So help yourself to this bitter pill
Or somebody else will
[Chorus]

You're a murder mile
You idiot kid
Your arm's got a death in it
