I think BlackShadowZombieNinja said it pretty much spot on. The only thing I can add in is, I think there might be some symbolism in the title. A revolving door, think about it. It circles around and you can go into one, but you can't go back out the same way you came. I think it might parallel 2D's situation as a musical artist. He got into it, he got famous, but now he can't go back to how life was before, even if he wants to. It's played up more in those last lines, "It seems I was born for this." I.E., he feels like he was born to record and perform, like that's his only purpose now, and from the melancholy vibe of the whole song, he seems kind of hallow to the notion.
@ChromePiggy yeah in "gorillaz pirate radio take over" (i think thats what its called) on spotify there is a part where 2D was talking about this song and how the image of a revolving door struck quite a melancholy feeling in him due to the pointless rotation of it.

yeah a lot of the song seems to be 2D reflecting on his place as an artist. His gotten into this thing and now he's trapped going in circles.
