I just kinda had an epiphany about the chorus of this song. It's JUST LIKE the end of The Great Gatsby. "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." Mankind is always struggling for progress. To reach a greater state of being. But we always fall back. Relentlessly. But despite this all, we're strong. We persevere. It's kinda an awesome image.
