Lyric discussion by ck.mecha 

Codeine is artificial cocaine to ween people off the real thing. Its obvious his girl has taken up with one of his "friends" in an attempt to ween herself off him.

Seriously? Where did you get this? Cocaine and Codeine are totally different, if not exact opposites. Cocaine is a stimulant, while codeine is an opiate more closely related to heroine. What you just said is one of the mostly insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. In no point in your rambling, incoherent comment, were you even close to anything considered a rational thought. Everyone here is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and my god have mercy on your soul.

I think you are thinking of methadone.

@ck.mecha You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Don't try to respond unless you can actually grasp what the song is about. You are probably just confusing those that come here to actually find proper answers. As most know, codeine is not related to cocaine. It is an opioid, similar to heroin. Obviously, Jason is singing about a past lover who is addicted to codeine and he is mourning the loss of the relationship. Given the fact that Jason himself struggled with substance abuse I imagine this song hits close to his heart.
