I think this song is about a person (most likely a woman...although could be a man, I'm not sure) who's been abused emotionally,physically and worse for their entire life and are now doing the same thing themselves and feel terrible for it. For example...
'Where is your mother, where is your father?'
(abusive parents who abandoned them eventually?)
'Two little children, locked in the cupboard'
(the person's own children, who are now being abused but hidden? Or this could a be a reference to their siblings...)
'Into the wide world, high on the high wire'
(the person tried to make a normal life for themselves, but ended up getting even worse. 'High wire' could also be a reference to 'high risk' prostitution...I'm not sure)
'What would you give to fly away...'
(the person would give anything to get out, duh)
'Girl with the flower, boy with the hammer
Lost in a forest, on another planet'
(bad drug trip used to try and numb the pain, probably)
'Find me the exit,find me the way home
Find all the love they took away...'
(same as last line of first verse)
'Cause your head is a brick wall and your heart is a football
And your eyes open windows when you cry
It's a good day to die'
(no matter what the person does, their situation keep getting worse, and all they want to do in the end is die. Sooo sad... :,,()
