I think this song is about a person who, from an already bad place in their lives was placed in an even worse one. Although they hate were they are in their lives, it has also a part of them and because they don't know of anything else they not only accept it and but they even go so far as to welcome it. As it says in lines 8 and 31 "My Orphanage, My hateful place.", "My Orphanage, My Dear." However, with that acceptance comes hate. In hating where they come from, they also hate themselves; as do a lot of us, in some from or another.
