I like to think of the song in the more specific context of a relationship, rather than life in general:
You have someone holding back, not wanting to commit, and specifically scared of the possible pain in store. This is a defense mechanism (bubble-wrap), probably based on previous experience. Thats where the most beautiful lyric ("cause there's beauty in the breakdown") fits in: you break down these barriers or defenses, and give love a chance. Thats the beauty.
Further encouraging, "it gains the more it gives" I felt referred to the old "it is better to give than recieve" saying, rather than in part of an evils-of-television metaphor.
Finally, [with a nerdy grin], I'd like to point out the scientific relevance of "there's beauty in the breakdown". Energy, fire, explosions, etc are produced by breaking chemical and nuclear bonds. Intended metaphor?...
On the other side of it, though, I also see someone wallowing in the sadness of a loss or a breakup or something they treasured. As you feel alone, hitting bottom, sadness overtaking....

the artist is saying once you let all that go you'll find its' great in here...and that there is beauty in your breakdown, what you're going through is ok...life will go on and you're beautiful for what you have been going through.

It's a positive message about feeling pain and that you will get through it and life will be good again. That's what I get anyway.
