I think that the people Paramore are fighting are the media and all the negative attention that is being given from the departure of the two brothers and Hayley is singing about how she wants peace.
The line "If there's a future we want it now" is getting across how Paramore want to be recognised to still be that kick ass band they always were and they don't want to fight the media.
The line "There's a time and a place to die. This ain't it." strengthens that point and dying is a metaphor, the metaphor being the band dying and being forgotten.
When they finally hug the person who started the fight, let's call that the media that is symbolising Hayley is opening up and telling everybody what the band thinks about the critics responses.
Then they go on to say that they aren't over and that they will still keep going with line like "Bringing my sinking ship back to the shore." supporting that.

But that is just MY interpretation.
