I believe the song is straight-forward. The video shows two people (a scrawny guy beaten up by gang and a deaf ballerina that wants to make it big) dealing with their struggles. As the lead singer Danny O' Donoghue states, "We wanted to inspire people to stop trying to be famous for the sake of it." At the end of their trial and tribulation, they have conquered their goals (fighting in a boxing match and completing the ballerina audition) with pride.
