I think this song is about complacency and of course stagnation, and then finally a kind acceptence of that complacency. It's about having all of these goals and wishes, and the gollum-esque lines represent the things you use to escape but keep you complacent, i.e. gollum's precious. Finally you realize that it's about friendship and acceptance of imperfection.
