This IS a sad song. Most of their songs are pretty dark in my opinion.
To me this song is about a woman (or a couple) that had a baby, and the baby died very young. Now they have to deal with the constant bombardment grief, only left with few memories from it's brief little life.
The sounds they make at the end of the song sound like they are saying "Ow-Owww-Ow-Ow-Ow-Owwww".
Painful.
