I think this song is about people's lives on an individual scale. There's always going to be opposition in life, whether something good (a drug that cures it all but is blocked by the government) or something bad (war) and it's going to be hard. The best thing we can do is try our best to overcome whatever challenges come to us in our life.
Also, the chorus:
Pictures of you,
Pictures of me,
All upon the wall for the world to see.
Our choices are apparent to the world, and they form opinions based on our decisions.
Pictures of you,
Pictures of me,
Remind us all of who we used to be.
Decisions remind us of who we used to be and how we changed.
And the last verse with the change:
Remind us all of what we could have been.
Decisions we make change the course of our life, and when we look back we see all that we could have become.
