I'll take a stab at this one but don't quote me on it:
From the lyrics, I'd say it's about how the world has gone down the shitter in terms of people being respected and accepted for what they are.
"You are beautiful, no matter what they say". For example, a guy dressed in fully gothic outfit can walk down the street and be called things that can really upset him, but at the end of the day, he's still a human and should be accepted no matter how he is. But that doesn't happen, so the line is sort of a message to people who aren't accepted because of their physical appearrance to not let it bring them down and to get on with life because if they take such people on, they're just gonna give them what they want, and the world will remain what it is now, which is not good.
"Tired childish games swept us all away". People don't really think into why they make life hell for others. For most, they have no real problem with how their victim looks, yet they do it anyway? Why? Who knows. Maybe because that's what society accepts now, someone who belittles someone else purely on physical appearance. Or maybe they're just looking for something to do. Either way, it's as if the offenders are, well, tired and childish, and the "games" are the people abusing others, which have swept everyone away.
"What have we done?" This could mean two things. It could be from the victim's point of view, as in "what have I done to deserve all this, I just wanna be me", or it could be in a general point of view as in "what have we done, what have we turned this world into?".
So yeah, basically I'd say this song is about how violent and disrespectful this world has become, and how people don't feel safe to walk the streets looking a certain way anymore because they feel they'll be attacked.
Like I said, don't quote me on this but I'd say it makes sense.
