This song is about a kid sayin his mom is great beacuse she cooks and cleans and does "motherly" tasks. However, in reality, the child is being abused. His father beats him and his mother ignores it. Finnaly at the end he realizes she was fake: no longer believing her saying hes handsome. "You Fucking Lied to me"

I completely agree, and I think the tune of the song is trying to reflect how somebody would reflect on childhood abuse in later life, as each verse starts of happy and melancholy(to reflect childhood innocence and naivety) , but eventually ends up being creepy and slow(to reflect how dark it can be to reflect on that kind of childhood).
