A simple and yet amazing song about how witnessing and experiencing abuse as a child screws up one's sense of self and safety even into adulthood. As a kid, the narrator and his mother escaped an abusive situation, but they never truly felt safe or normal afterwards (as mentioned in the first two sections). And because he saw a father figure act like a monster, he struggles to separate that violence from his perceptions of masculinity (section three), and possibly his own identity.
