Yeah I agree MegaMadMan, I think all of us have run into this before. As with life there are always paths to take, but it seems like some are like black holes, neverending paths of self-destruction within our own delusions.

"The more you take The more you blame But everything still feels the same The more you hurt, the more you scream"

If you pity yourself (which I have done myself too many times) and blame everyone else for your life, you will never feel better. All you'll do is swim in that sea of sorrow endlessly.

So I think Aaron is basically saying what you put into life is what you get out of it. I think when he says "the price you pay to play the game" it could be one of two things. Sure, it can be bad, for those who are self-destructive will pay with a life of chaos. But for those who put life into things, who live by their heart, they may pay early on, but in the end it is those people who will rise above all.

This meaning has a lot of my personal views within it. And I think saroknight is right, it is pretty straight forward. Right now my gf works about 70 hours a week and has hardly anytime to sleep. Though I feel very badly for her, I really have to not let myself be self-absorbed in my pity for her. Otherwise it will damage us both.
