I instantly thought this song was about a person in the hospital who is dying...
the helium balloon pushing at the ceiling and the flickering lights is the soul, still attached to the body but trying to leave... and "everyone takes turns, now it's yours to play the part.."... ie dying.
They're proud of this person, but he/she still feels like their true self is not known, and this person is desperate, before they go, to make the people at the bedside understand him/her.
And Regina uses the metaphor, "hold on, one more time with feeling.." something you might hear a music instructor say.. comparing life to music, breathing to a rhythm, so hold on and try it again, keep breathing - keep the rhythm going, one last time to make them understand before you go...
But I do think this part is imaginary:
"and the pride inside their eyes
is synchronised to a love you'll never know
so much more than you can show"
Because he/she thought they'd be feeling better by now and everyone will be proud for her/his brave "fight" and recovery, instead there's misery in their eyes.
This song makes me feel very sad

i think you are generally right with this interpretation. LIke orbital, i tend to think the balloon and light are more about setting the seen than actual metaphor, but you could be right. I think "This is why we fight" is saying "this is why we fight to stay alive." Our family wants us to fight, begging us to hold on, and we feel like we haven't lived up to our potential. this song is a lot like chemo limo... basically the same topic. altho, i picture a woman in chemo and a man in this song. meh......

I think flickering light just means a crappy hospital light.
