Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm getting weak feeling tweaked out and faded
God help you darling cause my love is drying up
You feel so lovely, when you touch, but I can't do this anymore
Your nails on my back feel that summer sadness
Baby it's too late to talk
I feel like we're drifting apart
Talk shit babe say it like you wanna leave
Don't lie get it right, need me every night
You love me like cocaine
I heard your friends say that you think you're better off
Don't pretend to love me when you're feeling alone
I need to know the truth cause you're talking like you're fed up
I feel like we're drifting apart
Talk shit babe say it like you wanna leave
You love me like cocaine, yeah
Don't lie, get it right, need me every night
You love me like, you love me like, you love me like cocaine
You love me like, you love me like
I don't want you darling,
I don't want you darling, I don't want you darling
You don't love me darling,
You don't love me darling, you don't love me darling
I don't love you darling,

Talk shit bitch say it like you wanna leave
You love me like cocaine, yeah
Don't lie, get it right, need me every night
You love me like, you love me like
You love me like cocaine
You love me like, I love you like
The song "CoDA" by DEAD POET SOCIETY is a reflection of a failing and toxic relationship. The lyrics are from the perspective of someone who is leaving their significant other due to a lack of love and affection. The singer talks about feeling weak and faded, and how their love for their partner is drying up. The line "you love me like cocaine" is particularly striking, suggesting that their partner's love is addictive, but ultimately destructive.
The singer also addresses their partner's lack of honesty and how they may be pretending to love them when they are feeling alone. The chorus repeats the lines "you love me like cocaine" multiple times, emphasizing the addictive and destructive nature of the relationship. The song ends with the singer stating that they do not want their partner and that their love is not reciprocated.
Overall, "CoDA" is a dark and intense portrayal of a failing relationship. The lyrics are raw and emotional, highlighting the pain and toxicity of a love that is no longer healthy.
