I think this song is talking to a woman who was traumatized when she was little, and it's causing her problems now.
"The beginning and the end
Much closer than they seem
Death is but a dream, I know"
life is short, and you die sooner than you think. If death is "but a dream", that would mean you could only dream of dying, and it's unreal to you. But then maybe her father/loved one died/was tortured in front of her eyes,(I get that from when it says how did your father die, but it could just be a traumatizing event like rape or something) and it scarred her for life. Now she's depressed, has drawn away from the world, has no friends or "faith in the world" - making her a mad girl, hence the title of this song.
When it says How did your father die? was he a good man? might be saying, why did they torture him like that? What might he have done to make them murder him?
Now she might be escaping in her own mind, most likely has a mental illness. She's dreaming of being like a princess, where she has a prince who loves her, etc. Yeah, that's what i think. I could be way off, but whatever.
