It seems to be about unity under adversity; in the dark and when things are going wrong, those aspects of society that often cause splits are forgotten or (maybe more importantly) not immediatly obvious.
I do think it is a song about trying times, but that under such circumstances people will behave in a fundamentally decent manner. This applies to group situations (such as in NYC) and also in smaller ways where disparate people will find a common strength in the face of adversity.
