In the beginning, there was a mother, a father, and a child

He's the portrait of a man his mother drew to hate forever.
She was a beast, a deadly saint, wrong in many ways
Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together
Over the hills, under the sea,
Fighting the will, whole Universe
Why does a man driving a hearse
Live in fear, Gift and a Curse
Taking 'em out, taking 'em all,
Shooting the wall, over and out
When nothing moves, all's well,
A decision he can find a way to live with
...and dried up flowers are so beautiful.
And it applies to all things living, and dead.
For that I serve my time... in my suite in Hell.
"Now I ring the bell to tell the world,
I'm ready when they bring out the soon to be dead against the wall ..."

This necessary evil has no heart
ooo-oo-ooo

Dunque, per quel che ho capito io:

> > A troubled little silent boy, whose life they worked to destroy
C'era una volta un padre, una madre e un bambino silenzioso.
Cioe` probabilmente autistico: e` il trademark dei piccoli... autisti.

La madre cerca da subito di confortarlo con un'imprecisata bugia, presumibilmente che la sua condizione non e` nulla di detestabile e roba del genere.

Il padre invece lo detesta, e cerca di ucciderlo sia fisicamente (pensando di, o forse arrivando a, provare a spezzargli il collo) che psicologicamente (con parole "fatte per dristruggerti, non per ferirti").

Non chiara.
[edit: forse un riferimento al suo futuro delitto e al funerale seguente]

La madre entra nel tipico atteggiamento che appare iperprotettivo/autoreferenziale, mentendo anche a se` stessa affermando che alla fine potrebbe andare ancora tutto bene, il figlio potrebbe trovare il suo posto, ma che in realta`...
> > "He can fulfill his every dream, I'm happy as long as he's not."
e` un ragionamento egoistico: "sono felice finche` non ce la fa", e quindi finche` il figlio ha bisogno della sua protezione, presumibilmente per sempre.
> > "I hate it and fear can't face it
> > the child is not right, he's my greatest shame

Non chiaro, ma probabile riferimento al frutto del peccato originale in stile biblico, con l'albero di mele, il serpente e il resto.
> > Lost hopes, all those kind words could hurt him even more, now
> > Somehow, lost one more way back home
Il figlio perde poi le speranze e va in depressione (sintomo tipico: "qualunque parola dolce puo` solo fargli male, ormai"). Ha perso un'altra via per una "casa" come stato mentale (pace interiore).

La madre vive in mezzo a un lago, o forse il remare e` una metafora per il riavvicinarsi: il figlio rema verso di lei (che comunque resta obiettivamente "a monster"), restandole attaccato e assecondandola nella sua nevrosi, sebbene avrebbe dovuto lasciarla anni prima.

Come Edipo, Caleb uccide suo padre (per stare con la madre per sempre).

Ecco, il finale e` poco chiaro, ma dal tono deciso e battagliero della musica penso che Caleb finalmente trovi un suo equilibrio, sebbene un equilibrio perverso ("a decision he can find a way to live with"), celebrandolo contro tutte le aspettative di un Universo a lui ostile fin dalla nascita. Forse comincia ad apprezzare la morte e diventa qualcosa tra un becchino (uno che guida "hearses", carri da morto) o un esecutore per un regime in cui vige la pena di morte ("necessary evil"). Trova soddisfazione a portare via (se non anche a uccidere) tutti i membri della societa` che presumibilmente aveva sempre invidiato, apprezza i fiori essiccati e vorrebbe che tutta la vita fosse come loro.
Dylandoghiano, come testo, direi.
