phrase usage - Meaning of "(assessing) points to nowhere"


A previous question post by a new user was put on hold because five people, incuding me, voted it to be "primarily opinion-based" because (or despite) it asking about one line in a song. Therefore I am restating the original post in a way that focuses on grammar.


1 In the title of this blog post, "Loyalty points to nowhere," is points a verb or a noun?


2 Also, in the phrase "assessing points to nowhere," is points a verb or a noun? The complete sentence is "And assessing points to nowhere, leading every single one."


3 Does the grammar of "assessing loyalty points to nowhere" work the same as the grammar of "assessing points to nowhere"? Edit: Please briefly explain the grammar if there is difference.


Since adding a bounty, I have added the following question:


4 Does this interpretation of the phrase act in accord with the grammar of the phrase? Why or why not?


I don't want answers that are largely opinion based, but that are grammatically, linguistically, and contextually based. Thanks.
