If you cannot see the brilliance in the lyrics, I am sorry. The ripple effect of negative parenting and reinforcement produces long term deviant outcomes. Also the second verse is, to me, a reference of sexual abuse, again leading to further deviancy and deliquency. The dreams are manifestation of rape and molestation and the the tide running down his leg is him urinating the bed (indicator of abuse).
I'm sorry if you refer to thsi song as a fun song to listen to with your friends. It is much more than than. It is awareness with a catchy hook.
