I think that Tolkien was trying to say that some people, when mighty and powerful, let it get to their heads and then they think that they can do anything. However, when they have gone too far, they can't get out of it because they think that they'll just use their power to get them out of it. But then they get in deeper and deeper and eventually they become corrupted by their actions, and all they think about is becoming more and more powerful.
