I think this is a simple song about a father worrying about his daughter. More specifically, he worries about the world his daughter lives in. I think the title, 'Building Skyscrapers in the Basement' is about how he would like his daughter to be able to grow up and live right in his basement, where he could protect her from harm.

These are all guesses, by the way.
