I believe this song in general to be about a dysfunctional relationship between family members (like a father & son). I think it's about how we can't ignore the past disharmony & fake a relationship as if it's already been healed. The real healing has to take place, either through therapy or just a deep person to person discussion. To fake it & act like you're all good when the tension is still there from a hurtful childhood for example is no way to live & then what happens is nothing gets ever truly resolved.
