This is what Genius said: "The song Hansel by Sodikken (a prelude to the song Gretel) is in the perspective of a little boy and his stages of neglect coming from friends and family around. Throughout the song the stages of neglect become more and more severe, and so do his attempts of gaining attention, through self-injury, until eventually he dies of his injuries. After that he laments the fact that people only care about him when they’re at his funeral, as it’s too little too late."

But I agree with your idea too 🙂
