This is no Berlin Wall, but it is a bit easier to relate to : )

I feel like this song is being told from the point of view of the child in a divorced family. They were left alone with their parent, either the mother or father, who was left without enough money to support the family. They resort to stealing and theft to support themselves, not having the support from their ex-spouse. Said parent commits suicide, and leaves the child on their own at a young age. The child is then left at an orphanage, where they are left to contemplate who their real parents are.

Erm, so it's not exactly correct. But it works for me heheh
