I don't find it depressing at all, this is a wonderful song about what home is, and how growing up we have one view of it, while growing up means having to change that definition. In the song he's recalling his dreams of home as a kid, the final line isn't necessarily "depressing" or "brutal" but simply very real, and beautiful in it's simplicity. This is a song everyone can relate to (unless you still live with parents) which is probably the most beautiful thing about it.
