i think its about a children's terminal illness ward...
"Call the parents on theirs cell phones"
You see, they need to get get here right now
The song is written in first person, so i believe that the narrator belongs to this ward and finds the boy in the next bed is dead...
his warning to "look under the bed" implies that the ward reeks of death and that death is hiding everywhere. and despite their efforts to "disguise the smell" all of the patients are very aware of its presence.
at the end of the song the narrator affirms that he will not die like the rest of the children allthough we all know that he will.
