I think the meaning of the title and the album is quite clear. To me, "Plastic Beach" is interpreted quite literally. Plastic meaning fake, and beach meaning paradise. So fake paradise. Notice the lyrics say "Welcome to the WORLD of the Plastic Beach". Notice world, and not a specific location they are trying to mention. So basically the world is a fake paradise. "I know it seems like the world is so hopeless" kind of backs this up in this particular song. Throughout the entire song it just hints at this "the world is a fake paradise" type of theme in my view.
