it's about someone who feels like they aren't a good person in the way that society defines it: they aren't loyal, faithful, etc, they follow their own pleasure, and people say things like that they are "borderline" or "skitzo" or "bipolar" to describe them, because other people think there's something wrong with them... the song seems to suggest both that there is something black eyed about them (i see black eyed as sort of like having damaged eyes that see the world differently, more like someone who said it was similar to black hearted than a bruise.) and that they don't really regret it enough to try to change, but that they sometimes also wonder if something is wrong. the laying the blame on the family is both sarcastic and not... they don't quite buy that it's all mommy and daddy's fault but they wonder if it's because they had an unhappy childhood that they are so detached.
black eyed suggests a bruise, as if the person is wondering if they've been hurt or if, like the people with the diseases, they were somehow born that way. i think more people feel this way than they admit though, and the problem is that this person doesn't fake caring about morals and people's opinions that they don't care about.
this is another song that really strongly reminds me of damon salvatore from the vampire diaries.
