Wikipedia says Richard Chase was also "A self-described victim of abuse at the hands of his mother". That's probably what this song is referencing him for, to say "I got away from that life" because his serial killings can be viewed as a result of his abusive upbringing, which is clearly what this song is about (an abusive upbringing, and trying to grow up with it).

(Does anyone know what Lustmord means? I looked it up and all I can find is a musician called Lustmord, and he seems pretty irrelevant).
