-Lets face it
"Let's face it" introduces a confrontation or acknowledgment of a difficult truth.
I wasn't raised right
Suggests a troubled upbringing or lack of proper guidance.
And there is no one to blame
There's a recognition that blame is not easily assigned, perhaps due to shared responsibility.
When everyone's at fault but either way
Despite fault on all sides, the speaker acknowledges personal issues.
I'm still fucked up
Expresses emotional distress or dysfunction in the speaker's life.
Parents are just kids raising kids so
Highlights the generational cycle of inadequately prepared parents raising children.
Now we're picking up the pieces
Indicates an attempt to rebuild or recover from the consequences of a broken family.
Now we're picking up the pieces
-666 We're picking up the sticks
Symbolizes the process of dealing with the consequences of the father's actions.
Of the house you built us, Father
-666 We're picking up the sticks
Reflects the effort to cope with the aftermath of the mother's destructive actions.
Of the house you knocked down, dear Mother
-666 We're picking up the sticks
Continues the theme of rebuilding from the consequences of the mother's actions.
Of the house you built us, Mother
-666 We're picking up the sticks
Represents the struggle to overcome the repercussions of the father's actions.
Of the house you knocked down, dear Father
-You want to know why I am the way I am
Addresses the desire to understand the speaker's current state.
You are the action and I am the consequence
Establishes a cause-and-effect relationship between the parents' actions and the speaker's identity.
You want someone to blame, well
Shifts blame to the parents, emphasizing their responsibility for the speaker's condition.
It's all your fault
The speaker declares the parents are entirely to blame.
That must be such a hard pill to swallow
Recognizes the difficulty for the parents to accept responsibility.
But after all I was raised in your broken home
Emphasizes the speaker's upbringing in a dysfunctional home.
Raised in your broken home
Reiterates the impact of growing up in a broken family.
I will not be your victim
Asserts the speaker's refusal to be a passive victim of their circumstances.
666 We're picking up the sticks
