I think it's about a sexually abusive father (never wanted that intimacy). I'm sorry to point this out, but I think the line "And That I Can't Stand You Make Me Sick" is referring to anal sex so intense that the poor child can't walk. It's making a mash out of 3 phrases:
And that I can't stand-
I can't stand you.
You make me sick.
Sadly, I'm 100% positive that this song is about sexual abuse of a son by his father. Schtill... Song's metal as fuck \,,/
Very nice. I tend to agree it's about abuse. On a more personal note (because I've worked with battered children), I wish the singer would write a sequel where the once victim (actually always a victim unless and until s/he takes control) decides s/he is worthy of more and stands up to reclaim his/her life. For some, they break the cycle of abuse by getting counseling. (They like themselves enough to determine that they are worth a better life.) For others they grow up to model their parent's (abuser's) behavior, while others (often women, but men too) champion the victim...

For others they grow up to model their parent's (abuser's) behavior, while others (often women, but men too) champion the victim status and walk the earth wounded. That open wound festers and claims even more victims....the abused him/herself; those who love the abused; even mere acquaintances of the abused. What annoys the heck out of me is that some who were abused (who suffered horrible abuse...often both sexual and physical...as well as emotional, which is always present) will be strong in so many aspects of their lives, yet not have the courage to go all the way to heal. Many see counseling/treatment as a weakness. They refuse to admit there is something wrong with them or the life they lead. It, I believe, is based on fear. Fear that they will not be successful. And yet these are the very same people who are so strong in other areas of their lives. They are walking contradictions, contradictions who make a choice not to have the best quality of life possible. And then, there are the abused who resort to manipulation to get what they want (ie people who they foolishing think will fill a void in their lives, not acknowledging that nobody can fill that void but their healthy selves). I've met my share of them.
