It's about just life in general and how it breaks you. We all reach the bottom in different ways but every human being makes his home there in the end. A person's upbringing, his personality faults and deficiencies, physical appearance, once you become an adult you're immersed in the game. The game of who can top who and who has the most toys and when you figure out it's a game with a dead end you're looked down upon. You've hit the bottom unwillingly but you seek comfort in it and let the rest of the world go about their petty nonsense. You grasp onto the things you love and the things that make you want to live but you always want to climb and claw your way back to the top because it's all programming. The song is saying you can embrace the bottom or you can fight your way out but you'll end up back in the same place.
