Hunter's Season Lyrics

This is very much a stab in the dark but does anyone else think the first verse here is a reference to domestic abuse? The first two lines especially seem to suggest Thomas and his mother seeking comfort in each other, perhaps from an abusive father/husband? Could be completely wrong here though...

It could be referring to anything difficult or evil, not necessarily domestic abuse.
