It's actually Beck's message to his son, or actually either of his children (he's expecting his second). Musically it's just like a lullaby, but the lyrics also point this out. For instance;
You're smaller than a stone
Bigger than a road
Farther than an ocean
Closer than a soul
Every little word
And every little step
Every new direction
Closer you will get
The end seems like it could also be a message to his kid(s) as they get older:
When you bring it down
All the false sides
When you make him yours
Don't forget he's yours
When you hear this song, know that it is always for you.
