The songwriter was afraid to comment on the song meaning because it might take away from what the song means to any individual listener. This is an obvious copout but I get it, the song can hacve a different meaning to different listeners. When I was leaving my girlfriend a few months ago she had me listen to this song, and it clearly meant something to her about "us" as in her and I.
My former wife and I recently had been texting each other and she indicated that she wanted me to sing to her. I was pissed at the time and sent her the lyrics to Nickelback's "How You Remind Me," which she didn't take very well. fast forward a few days and I told her I was heading back to Nebraska, which my wife took to mean I was heading back to my former girlfriend. She sent me this song, Pink's "What About Us?" In that context, it sure as hell didn't have some BS political meaning. The end effect was it had me streaming in tears as I turned my bike the hell around.
So the answer to me is, the song means whateever you want it to mean.
@ayebrobrolol "The end effect was it had me streaming in tears as I turned my bike the hell around." Say it's not true! You went back to your ex? Bad move man.
