I reckon that it's about RELIGION and breaking free from the controlling, indoctrination of religion.

He wants to break free from the chains of religion.

You broke me into pieces don't tell me what to be damn you all im gonna find my way

religion broke him, especially for children it instils fear in them, forcing them to worship a god which essentially breaks their true being. They tell you what to be your whole life, preachers of god. Now he damns them all and must find his way, break free of the life-sucking religion!!

LOL...fear. Yeah, learning to love and assist others; respect parents; value freedom and education; love someone higher than the selfish self; hate war; try to end homelessness; help migrants; hate sins not sinners; celebrate life over death; value all human life; etc is all so horribly controlling; indoctinating and life-sucking:) I'm guessing your parents were fruitcakes who followed some false prophet whose only goal was to line his pocket and/or they beat you when you pooped your little pants so now you have to attack that which you choose to not acknowledge for all the good it does. You're so...

@SweetCheeks2 as much as I agree with some of your comments, most religions are based on fear. They use fear to control you ... why do all those good things?? To keep in God's good grace, go to Heaven, not go to help, go further up in Heaven etc. etc. In essence the message of most religions are "do this or else!"
