This is really a heart-felt song. I love it.
I listened to a radio interview the guys did back in August in Ireland. They said the inspiration for the incidents in 'We Cry' (teen pregnancy, drugs, drink etc) came from what they saw happening on a regular basis in really rough parts of Dublin (where they grew up).
The meaning is pretty straightforward. All three people mentioned in the song had ambitons and hopes for a better world, but it never happened.
I'm thinking the meaning of the line 'Together We Cry...' is since all three have been let down by life, they're all in a similar sad situation. So they cry together.
