It's interesting how the length of each verse is half as long as the one before it, and how the second line of each verse starts with a number: 28, 23, and 16. I wonder if there's any deeper meaning to it other that it sounds good...
Well anyway, the song tells three stories. The first verse deals with two people, possibly quite poor, realizing they have to make the best of what they have.
The seconds verse is about events on a larger scale, concerning gang wars, violence and death. It's not quite as positive as the first verse.
Finally, the third verse seems to be describing the end of the world, with the last survivors fleeing, fulfilling their dreams of traveling to the stars.
The chorus is warning us that we need to stop seeing things how we want to see them, and open our eyes to how this could be happening for all we know, and we just chose not to see it.
Lastly, the bridge seems to be their to add a spark of hope to an otherwise bleak and kind of depressing song.
