It's definitely a suicide song.

However, I think it is a story about child neglect (where parents ignore their children, and is considered a form of child abuse). Now, I'm not at all familiar with the any of the band members' lives, but I'll definitely say that in this case, the children both felt ignored and to get attention, they hurt themselves. And while they felt neglected and ended up killing themselves, they didn't realize that they weren't alone, and that someone cared for them. Which is why it was in their heads, being alone and cold.
