It's about a tomboy who is coming to terms with her gender and roles. "Home Life" refers to a woman's work at home.
In the second stanza, the girl wants to be like the rest of the guys, who are out having fun and doing boyish things in the woods.
The lines "where a tiger lies and, cleaning their weapons, they laugh at his useless claws" refers to the boys' superiority over the tiger.
That the subject should be fixated on the idea of a tiger indicates the passion she has with in her towards living the life of boys.
The last stanza's refer to the subject inheriting her gender roles. It doesn't portray them as burdens, but as obligations with the hope of one day she will be liberated (or be the one to liberate).
The very last stanza is sets of paradoxes that convey the idea that the subject is stuck in one life while wanting another.
