i think this song is blatantly existentialist.. its lamenting how life can feel like spinning in endless circles without answers, "a quiet desperation", where it all feels pointless and monotonous. when you spin in circles, you're not making any progress, you're just in the same place. and then jon urges us not to give up the fight, the search for answers: "don't believe that there's nothing thats true", while also taking a jab at postmodernism (the idea that there's no right or wrong, no true or false, because everything is relative).
i love how the song is repetitive in a trippy way, to symbolize the idea of repeatedly spinning in circles.
