Walking Disaster

This song is about a lot of things, but as a whole, its about growing up and how terrible it is. During the first verse the writer uses end rhyme to emphasize a point hes making, which is how repetitive his life and relationship with his parents is. Its unchanging and its not necessarily a good thing. 
I'm sure everything's the same:
Mom and Dad both in denial, 
an only child to take the blame.
The writer uses symbolism to describe himself, saying "this city's buried in defeat", showing himself or his home as this huge part in his life that will forever be lost in the negative memories and failed attempts to change anything. This rhyming and symbolism makes me see this song as angry, despite the songs rather laid back (I say that loosely) sound. He uses blank verse to show an irregularity in the song, among the repetition he throws in a verse that symbolizes a change in his life that he has been trying to make.
