My first impression of this song was about fathers who refuse to take up responsibilities and how it affects their children... I know its a bit obvious since all she says is Crying cause your father's gone or drunk or wrong, but still it reminded me a lot of myself... You tend to want to believe that everything will be normal (What you confuse for glory's fire) but what you believe to be normal tends to be false (is fire from the tongues of liars)... The kids tend to want to be completely opposite of their fathers (trying to be something new, you'll feel you have something to prove). That's just my opinion.
Also, it's not Clinging to your youthful truth... It's either Dreaming til you hit the truth or Grieving til you hit the truth.

Give the acoustic version of the song a listen, Clinging to your youthful truth is the correct lyric.
