The Tower of Song I think represents his duty, his calling as a songwriter - he describes himself being imprisoned inside this Tower of Song like many before him (Hank Williams 100 floors above him) He describes jis life in the Tower of Song as lonely but it's where he belongs and it's his life. The golden voice line is kind of ironic - Cohen's actual voice i wouldnt describe as golden but being born with a golden voice and being tied to the table by the angels in the Tower of Song is like him finding this release and necessity in writing songs.

The line is not “kind of ironic”, it’s absurd, and downright FUNNY!
