I dont know anything about Bens personal life, but I always got the drift that he was talking about his father, as he refers to his mother throughout the song, he gestures the 'man' is his father.
I think of a child being confused/upset that their parent who should be their gaurdian neglects them emotionally rather than physically. His father is 'dead' to him, or perhaps vice versa.
Such a sad reality, and all too common.

Having said that, Ben is brilliant.
