Meaning: "Trip wires fill this house with tip-toed love"- Eminem's song

What does the following mean?

Trip wires fill this house with tip-toed love.


It's a part of Eminem song "Guts over Fear". Previous and next sentences are as:

"I didn’t wanna go another round

An angry man's power will shut you up

Trip wires fill this house with tip-toed love

Run out of excuses with every word

So here I am and I will not run"


I looked the words and phrases on internet and came to this:

trip wire (tripwire?): a low-placed concealed wire used especially in warfare to trip an enemy or trespasser and usually to trigger an alarm or explosive device when moved

tiptoe: to walk on your toes with the heel of your foot lifted off the ground, especially in order not to make a noise.


I have absolutely no idea how to paraphrase this sentence.
