I get the simple impression that the 'boy' is alone, scared and in a strange place where he fears for his life and just wishes death would come. When you think of the hunger games (haters go FY) you can picture Peeta; the scared young man in a fight for his life against other youngsters fighting for their lives, and just imagine being in his position.
In general, being a naive boy in a strange situation fearing for his life and hoping for death, because sometimes fear is so insense and unbearable that knowing you'll be in peace in death is a comfort.
