These words are wrong: see the BRMC website. They have some different words there, for ex, "I've been waitin' on the fault line, living eveil take me on, I'll be standing with my dying bed, if you care to come along." And it's 'my living picture on the wall', not 'my little picture'. As far as the meaning, it's a very deep song sang in few words, which is just brilliant. Fault line can mean the crack that causes the disaster, like what the Earth has in certain places. Or it can mean who is at fault in the relationship. Some lyrics also hint at a troubled relationship with his father. The proper lyrics, from the website also hint at the struggle to lead a 'good' life, with all the evil & trouble in this world. Like I said, it's a lot of meaning held within few words.
