Horror Show lyrics by The Birthday Massacre

There are probably a million theories to what this song means.

Several I've seen seem to be talking about whiny people who think the whole world wants to hear about their problems and they repeatedly force these problems on the person who's singing. However eventually the person who's singing gets fed up with it. Now nothing can be the same between them because of the hurt the person who's singing placed on them.

i'm doing close to my best when i say what i think the meaning of this song is about
well, instead, i'm just going to relate it to my own life to try to explain it the clearest
so my mom and stepfather pretty much just threw me out of their lives. well, i can't stand my stepfather and my mom is a bitch when he's there so yeah enough said. like, i did enough to make them AT LEAST satisfied, but no, that wasn't good enough. i did all i could to make them happy. i stuck up for my mother until the "end." i just coulldn't take it anymore. i had 2 little sisters who were pretty much my own children if you think about it. anyway, i left them with no goodbyes about a year ago. the only ones who seemed to care were my "daughters" and of course my crack-head but has more sense than they ever could uncle. so i didn't talked to my mom in about 2/3 of a year and what do i get? a bunch of BULL. i called HER which seems like it wasn't MY obligation but hers and no sorry, no nothing. i can't think of them without getting teary-eyed and i can't see a family without breaking down inside and i can't walk past a playground without reminiscing the days that my little sisters begged me to take them. and the REGRET i feel now that i never wanted to and never enjoyed it. but anyway, i tell mama how life is and how i had to move again because i was so miserable and alone and how i'm seeing a psychiatrist and what does she say? do GOOD in school cause i know you will make it far. what the fuck is that? like seriously that's it mom? you're really original. all i have is hate for you now. i asked her to be with her that weekend and she said no. i know she doesn't give 2 craps where i end up
so yeah, song meaning...
-rejection
-expectations (let down of course)
-betrayal
- ungratefulness
basic combination of the assholes we love
