This is probably a dumb question, but I can't tell if he's blaming his mom for his drug addiction, or making fun of people who blame their parents for the way they are?
I know what you mean, beautifulbreakdown. If one accepts that he's in recovery and serious about practicing the steps (as the opening track would imply), these lyrics can't be taken at face value. At the same time, whatever irony he might intend is buried pretty deep, given the amount of vitriol directed toward an actual real-life person.

Insightful question. I'm with the theory that he's making fun of people who blame their parents for everything. The answer, for me, lies is the last line of the chorus. He is patently not his mum, so doesn't that nullify pretty much everything else he appears to be saying in the song?
