This is really such a great song.
I think John is saying that you have to accept who you are and what your fate is.
"Going nowhere's the only clear shor, at being somewhere the fates think you're not."
You can only avoid fate by not doing anything.
I think at the beginning, when he says "Omit myself (take myself from your eyes) Omit myself as a favor to God" it almost sounds like, "No one wants me, not even God, so I might as well get rid of myself."
And then by the end, it is like a revelation of how important fate really is. This song is amazing, I love the chord progession.
