I believe this song is about a small boy who is mistreated by his father. He thinks himself a terrible son. One night, his father goes too far and finally beats him to death. When his mother sees what has happened, she begs in vain for her son to wake up but it's too late. He is already gone.
I agree, one of the best songs I've ever heard. Very bleak.
