It's not about Matt's mom dying. The intro guitar riff was written after it happened, but as the lyrics show, they didn't take it in that direction.
Like said, it's pretty much a song about lonliness, pain, the one that never was. This has probably been my favorite song for the last few years, It hits so close and hard with me.
I got to see Hulud in December. Pretty much this whole song, it was me and Geert screaming the words at each other. For the line or two he was on the other side, me and Matt had this eye contact while yelling the words. It was one of those awesome spine-tingling moments. Great show, great band, great song.
