I think this song is about life and its cycles; i.e., people are born and the wilderness grows, but then "it all becomes nothing" and things change. Life has its struggles ("failure," "self-abuse," "broken eyes," etc.) and its worries ("I'm terrified I'll achieve nothing"), but it also has good points ("love" and "wonderful" people who come into our lives?).
I also agree that the song is about accepting life how it is ("like we ever had a choice"...there are some things we can't change). Accepting life includes knowing there will be hard times (brokenness, "noise and self-abuse," and little things we complain about) but also focusing on the good things too ("point to the sun," acknowledging how "lucky" you are, etc.).
That's just my opinion though.
