I think this song is talking about the way addiction (drugs or bad love/habits) makes you feel and its typical relapse cycle that is never ending. I think that because of the lyrics but also because of the ambient HAZE that the song makes you experience with its sounds. The sound surrounds you just like addiction. This song made me feel high/stoned just listening to it. I also think that because the song is one set that repeats itself over and over again- like the cycle of addiction. i see the cycle split into three in this song and here they are...

in the beggining- you feel it all around yourself (your drug of choice consumes you) you know it's yours and no one else (it gives you a feeling that only you know and it's precious to you. it's personal) In the middle- you feel the thought of learning again ( i think this is referring to when you start to admit to yourself you have a problem. you start craving the life you had before where you learned things and grew as a person) it's all around (that craving for learning and living is all around. you feel it. your family tells you, your friends tell you, you can't deny it anymore. it's all around

In the end- you're tired of all the things you did (the way you were when you were an addict. the person you were, the things you said and did. you're tired of it all

                                         you'll work it out (this is something everyone says to 
                                                                    themselves at some point in time but this is
                                                                    something all addicts think to themselves
                                                                     almost every day.  you reason with yourself 
                                                                   that it will all work out so you keep doing it
