I think this is one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. I am under the impression that Bruce, the singer of Pineapple Thief lost his son at an early age as in still an infant, so I believe that this song is that Bruce or possible the narrator was waiting for the conception of his/her child and shortly after birth it died. The child is dying, so he says hold on just a little bit longer, poessibly so he can survive for a few more moments. However at the end, the child dies in the arms of the father. This song is terribly sad and also kind of positive, because the child died in his father's loving arms, as an innocent child that couldn't live to be corrupted by the messed up world we live in. Overall, this song is quite complex with all the instrumentation, including effects that sound like a guitar being plugged into an amp and the cord manipulated. It's just a very beautiful song.
