I always thought this song is about generational wounds, and the hope that your children become better than generations past through healing. I think this is personal for Tori, thinking of her relationship with her father, and wanting to not continue relational dysfunction. I’m too lazy to quote specific lines, but this is the general takeaway I have had for this song.
