I think it has an absurdist (and arguably existentialist) outlook. Read Albert Camus and you'll see the sort of ideas this song is trying to get across.
"Look out, the world's destroying you
Relax, it isn't fair
Mother nature's disposition
She don't mind, she don't care"
Here, the "she" doesn't refer to a lover or girl, but "mother nature" and "the world". The universe is cold and indifferent, it doesn't care about you at all. These kinds of ideas are key to the absurdism in Albert Camus' 'The Stranger' and "The Myth of Sisyphus'.
"When things are all you think of
And plans are all you make
And thoughts are all you dream of
Your falls are all you take"
This emphasises the existentialist/absurdist approach, whereby you are nothing more than what you do. Despite the injustice of the world, you are accountable for what you do.
We try so hard to find meaning in a meaningless universe. Our efforts are in vain but we must carry on trying nonetheless.
