I think this song might have a comparable concept to the TV show Dexter. In Dexter it talks a lot about how he’s just pretending to live a normal life, and bearing a disguise, so to speak, around other people, when in actual fact he murders murderers in his spare time.

When it says “some things can’t be treated” it makes me think how his dad recognized that it wasn’t something that they could completely control so he channelled it into something advantageous.

The whole “there’s blood, blood, blood” etc also makes me think Dexter. Being that Dexter works as a blood splatter analyst.

It may not be based on the TV series, but it definitely revolves around the same concept.

My Interpretation

It could be inspired by the show. I read an interview where he said he loved that show.
