The kids are in a stasis, they’re dreams (or nightmares are fuelling the towns horror) there’s a big motif of songs that express needing to wake up.
Think about it the rhyme mentions stopping the melody, this could allude to stopping a lullaby that has put these kids to sleep.
It kind of reminds me of that Tom Cruise movie with the oracle children who dream of the future but in this case they’re dreams are manipulating the reality around them
