I'd say the song is a reference to physical abuse as a child and the repercussion of which. As a child one has the urge to defend itself, growing up one might become more like their father "giving out what is deserved". A man torn in half by the urge to be defensive but at the same time having the urge to be offensive, "two masters that no man can serve".
