I think it's sort of a lullaby. It seems to talk about the world in general.
The first part talks about far away problems that are huge but nobody seems to notice or care (ex. starving children, etc.)
The second part talks about the terrible things we can't tear our eyes away from watching (ex. slowing down to watch burning car wrecks) and how surreal some things in life can be.
The last part seems to be about not being able to speak up or stay silent when it matters and that you shouldn't dwell on what you did or didn't do.
The chorus is harder. I think the whole song's about trying to make someone as happier than they could ever realistically be in such a sad world.
