When I first heard the lines "Don't look at me looking back at you, out the window backwards," the first image that came into my mind was of watching someone riding away through the rear windshield of a car. I think the woman singing the song (not necessarily Tanya herself) is losing custody of her child. It has happened before ("see this child twice stolen from me") and she is trying to comfort her child by telling her/him to sleep, not to think about the separation.
