Okay, I guess the way I see this song is a lot simpler. To me it seems like Maynard is talking about a child who was sexually abused and then growing up and abusing their child in the same way because its all that they really knew of childhood and growing up.
"Do unto you now what has been done to me"
In relation to the title of the song, the child's home became a prison because their abuser kept the child there, or if not that it could be seen as emotional imprisonment.
For me, seeing the video really made all of this come together, but that's just my interpretation, so who knows what Maynard was really thinking about this song.
Fact: the song is about Maynard's experiance of sexual abuse as a child. The song was one form for him to heal from that trauma. Some of their other songs also explore the topic to a degree.

Sometimes, some things are better left unsaid. In your case, all things are better left unsaid. You truly are a hurting faggot. Cheers, douche.
