To me, this song represents that amidst personal disaster and hopeless abandon is the idea that the world is terribly off-kilter and unjust, that god has been the one who abandoned us all. At the time that our innocence is taken, around the ages of the children in the song (which I assume to be between eight and eleven), god/hope has abandoned us because people can't be saved after they are ruined.
It's depressing, but I adore the meaning behind this song. Maybe it'll make people appreciate the good in their lives.
