I agree with the abusive father interpretation. It could also be about any authority figure that is responsible for caring for others such as priests, teachers, police, etc.
Instead of "But they only cause you fear..." I think it might actually be "but they only CONJURE fear..."
No biggie, just what I hear and makes perfect sense with the rest of the lyrics.
