Daryl says: "That deals with a girl who I had been with and had been my best friend for a couple years, but it got to a point where she moved away to college and had grown out of me as a phase in her life. I didn't appreciate being treated like a phase that was to be progressed through. So she decided that drinking and becoming a frat girl was more important to her than me. She decided that I was a lifestyle and that she had grown past me. I wasn't too into that and that's pretty much what it's about. I don't drink myself so, to be beaten out by a fuckin' bottle wasn't too hip by my standards." "This song is about my being straight edge."

With that said, for those complaining about Daryl no longer being straight edge, look at it like this: If he didn't break edge, he would not be alive right now. The last year he was edge he looked like absolute death in videos. Since he's started doing weed(which in California he can legally get for his severe medical condition), you see a much improved Daryl, looking younger, having more energy, less tour dates cancelled. Maybe he's been doing other things right too, but you can't deny that since he's broke edge he's been a lot more healthier because of it.

And I say this being straight edge myself. Fuck all of you hardline edge kids that give the belief a bad name.
