Codependence Day Lyrics

I haven’t got anymore excuses
We’ve gone way past alcohol abuses
It’s too late
We gotta celebrate co dependence day

Self-caused affliction
Magnified with chemical addiction
We got a date
We gotta celebrate co dependence day

Veteran role-player
You’re the addict done with the enabler
You wanna play?
Let’s make every day co dependence

See some doves
It gets clearer
That it’s just like looking in a mirror
Celebrate our disarray on co dependence day

With fireworks and power lines
I turn to mount
Red feathered minds
January first through New Year’s Eve
We seem to spend
Rationalizing

I think the beginning sums up what the song is about. Basically Fat Mike has sung song after song about America and all that so he explains it with the line "I haven't got anymore excuses". Co-dependence day is just a play on Independence day (obviously). Fat Mike has wrote about America and all that is wrong with it so I think he is trying to say that we should have Codependence day because our society has gone downhill.

"I haven't got anymore excuses We've gone way past alcohol abuses It's too late We gotta celebrate co dependence day"

I never thought much about the lyrics to this song because I assumed it was just a straightforward "life as an addict" song... but I like your interpretation that it's about American society enabling its own self destructive traditions.

The song also works well for a romantic relationship between two drug abusers in denial. That interpretation is even more metaphorical and likely is not the intended meaning... but that's what the song will always mean to me. It's very easy to enable the ones you care about most to slip away for fear of driving them away....
