"Misrule" probably refers to the staff of chaos, and the "eight corners of the world" refer to the 8 imperial provinces (accept for Cyrodiil)

The "brass tower" is the Numidium from Daggerfall.

The "thrice blessed" I think are the tribunal from Morrawind, and the "red tower" is most likely red mountain.

Obviously, the "Dragonborn ruler" is Martin Septem and the "white tower" is the imperial palace in Cyrodiil.

The "snow tower" means Skyrim, and the words "kingless" and "bleeding" refer to the civil war between the Stormcloaks and the Imperials.

The prophecy mentions the return of the "world eater" and the coming of the "last Dragonborn" but doesn't say anything about the Dragonborn defeating Alduin for good. In fact, it doesn't say anything about defeating Alduin period. It just says that there's gonna be a guy called the last Dragonborn running around Tamriel when Alduin comes back.
