There are a lot of great themes here but for me it's about the mystery of death and things ending- I feel like the first verse is about the singer's own personal death, and the second deals more with the end of the United States (or at least, its promising dream) due to our corruption, hypocrisy, and poor policies.
In both cases, "it doesn't matter any way."
Death comes to people and will come to our nation eventually/soon.
Yet it is mysterious - and like the coda says, interesting.
We're mystified by endings despite their inevitability.
