i like this inturpretation a whooooole lot and it adds a new power to the song for me.
though i jus want to point out one thing...
What's coming through is alive.
What's holding up is a mirror.
But what's singing songs is a snake
Looking to turn this piss to wine.
They're both totally void of hate,
But killing me just the same.
the way these lines are setup i don't think "They're" refers to his wife and child. just considering the grammar of it all, if he iintroduces "whats coming through" and "whats holding up" as his son and the snake as his past, the "they're" must be the son and the snake. it would be just way too confusing to introduce a new subject in pronoun form. i do believe that maynard is an incredible word-smith and he wouldnt make a such a cloudy error.
that being said, this brings up something interesting, his son and his past are both void of hate.

i dont think that maynard has a desire to abuse his family but more a fear and knowledge of the cycle of abuse.
