Hmm...

I think this song is about a guy who is dating a girl, and her father doesn't like him. So he breaks into the "daddy's" house to kill the father and convince the girl to go with him.

I think the line is

"Where he locks up all his pretty things",

This implies that the "Daddy" is protecting (locking up) his valuables, including his daughter.
