I think the actual lyrics are portrayed much better in the rearranged acoustic version of the song. The lyrics, I believe, are actually part of the semi concept album that was Imaginations From The Other Side. It is like an opening to the main story of the song And The Story Ends. At first when I heard it live, Hansi says "This next song is about a boy.. abused by his mother & father, he sits alone in his room, but still he manages to keep up his bright eyes". I read later in an interview with Hansi that Bright Eyes & And The Story Ends are about a boy who sees another world through the mirror in his room. I don't remember the story completely accurately, so I'll save it to put up for And The Story Ends. Anyhow, the song is part of a story that Hansi created for the Imaginations album.
The videogame, I've only seen the film once. I didn't catch it well, but I thought it was Super Mario 2.
