Firstly it's incredible.

To me it's a song about the doubt, fears and difficulties in finding a direction in the journey of life.

Where am I? Where am I going? Which track am I on and am I on the right track? Outside influences are pushing me where I do not want to be. Am I ever where I think I am? What is going to happen to me? Something is going to stop me and hurt me. There are powers bigger than me that can stop me.

A man naturally wants to be going somewhere - because he knows he is mortal, he acts and he tries to go there and then doubts and fears take hold.

I think the ending is a reminder to not worry too much about the grand scheme which can wear you down, just be warm and human and a good person. That is where to be. Do not get taken over by the daunting path of life and formostly love those near you that deserve it.
