I can relate the lyrics to growing up in a dysfunctional family.
If you have, the line "I wanna steal your innocence" can have a different meaning than the obvious sexual one.
If your parents are fucked up in one way or another (which Julian's seem to be, at least his greedy father) you have to grow up early and learn to adapt to "strange manners" and also learn to love them even though you really don't, in order to keep the family system working.
You do this because you think that your parents will love you if you do. But the sad truth is, they really wont, it's an endless nightmare.
And when you don't get the love you obviously deserve from your parents, your life "just don't make any sense."
Everyone in a dysfunctional family are deprived of love and can therefore not really help each other "my sister don't give a fuck".
And when you can't be affectionate with each other you recive love in terms of gifts, thus "why won't you wear your new trenchcoat".
"These little problems they're not yours they're mine
Come on listen to what I say
I got some secrets that'll make you stay"
The lyrics above sums it up pretty well. In a dysfunctional family you don't take responsibility for your own problems, you blame the other family members.
The root of the dysfunction lies in secrets, or more like covered up negative emotions so the atmosphere at home is sort of spooky and you never know what to expect.
Still, this makes it sort of exciting and as long as the secrets are being held you stick together.
There are a few more examples, but I reckon I've made my point. Hehe.
I never really dug this song, but now that I can relate to the lyrics, I'm gonna give it another go.
