As far as I can feel, it's about searching for some hope and meaning in emptiness. They say they have "came from ugliness to find some refuge here" but their refuge is still a polluted river and piles of trash.
Their parents "dreamed of nothing and got nothing in return", and theses kids are looking for more than that, with bigger dreams and love, but in the end they just lose each other as well.
So...if the basic premise of the song is so bleak, why does it still sound mostly hopeful?
