For me, the meaning of this song is so obvious, it didn't surprise me there weren't interpretations put here.. My mum always listens to it, and she sent it to me when I was feeling very down (my horse died) and she said: 'oh if I could, I would take all your pain and misery away, and carry it, but I can't..'
In my interpretation, it is about someone you love unconditionally, and you would do anything for him/her to make the pain/grief less/better. So it can be a parent-child, but of course also lovers towards each other.
