The premise of this song is to convey the feeling of uncertainty and making peace with that. It's this weird agnostic nihilism that treats life as an endless string of crossroads, endless choices about what you should or should not believe. Everyone must attain some resolution somehow, whether that's through a Leap of Faith, Commitment to a Cause, a Belief in Humanity, or any other Existential Choice. The fact that this song has five names also reflects this concept of Existential Uncertainty. The names themselves, I can decipher three of them but the meaning behind "III" and "neospace government" eludes me. {The most I can find is Neospace is a thing in the anime Yu-Gi-Oh!, which I've never seen}. "Soapbox Tao" is a paradoxical thing. Taoism as a philosophy is tied to the Natural order of things while the Soapbox is a political term that refers to people who rally people to a cause. Taoism is inherently against politics in any form instead preaching to detach from all that jazz. "checkmate atheists!" is a clear reference to that Debate-Me-Bro mindset you see a ton of nowadays. A mindset that did originate from the New Atheist movement, however, this is turning it on its head by saying: "You think your belief system is based on facts, no it's based on the same thing all other belief systems are based on, The Denial of Uncertainty". "You Can Never Know" that's just self-explanatory.
"III" Isn't one of the names (that makes it 6 if it is) but I'll try to decipher Neospace Government one of the things this song mentions is knowing you come from inside your head yet denying it and it tells you to not trust in yourself or anyone else and that everyone has always been wrong so Neospace Government could be meaning a universal governing force that has just been everywhere (basing off Space in Neospace cause Neospace Isn't a word) So Neospace Government might mean a Government of beyond space which would be uncertainty as you said is the general theme of the song
