diminishing returns is of course an economic concept but can apply to many many areas of human action. its the point where further production, effort, etc. becomes counterproductive as costs outweigh benefits. Seems to be about finding a balance between, generally, optimism/pessimism, and philosophical or political points of diminishing returns. The rest of the lyrics fill out this concept nicely and speak for themselves.
