I think this song is upbeat and sweet but the lyrics are dark and pessimistic.
From gazing over to where hope sleeps
Artificially small
Like a beast too tame
This part is really sad i think this is revealing that he has lost all hope and the only hope that remains is the hope that people offer him "Artificially small". This hope is worthless to him and cant make him happy.
I think what is meant by brand new game is that this is the realisation that despite what people say he will never experience true happiness. This is basically summed up with "everything is impossible", which is how he feels. This leaves him with no options to change and despite this people will still try to provide him with hope and those that do keep offering this hope are in fact pushing him away because they dont understand.
