Maybe I'm just taking the lyrics too literally, but to me, it's clearly about someone getting run over by a car. Possibly a family, as mentioned above.
i have no idea how you think that interpretation is a literal one. if you want to be literal then it is about someone doing arc welding on an old car. "lying down with metal bars over my face"... is lying down with a welding mask on. "repairing my three on a tree""... that was explained already as a 3 speed transmission with the shifter on the steering column. "over my head the hot wire was sparking"... if you have ever seen arc welding it is pretty obvious what this is. and the melted filler stick...
