Such a hauntingly negative song... As far as I can tell, it's about being raised by rich parents, who don't care about anything but money, to not care about anything but money. It's one of those songs where just seeing the lyrics tends to diminish them, but they're a lot more effective when you can hear the music and the delivery of the lines. When he says "the chest is hollow," man... just devastating.
