If what I've heard is true, then Melora was up for adoption as a child, and I think this song has to do with remembering where you come from. Being "born in a oil-drum" would leave one sticky and filthy, much like growing up with an unloving or unavailable parent. My thoughts are she is remembering her childhood, and not having much at all, but trying to remember it wasn't all bad... it was all enough for a girl who was born in an oil-drum... a sticky situation.
And the "song" her mother sang was merely breathing... more examples of taking pleasure in the small things that exist no matter how sad it is. It is, afterall, what you were given; no more, no less.
