I disagree with Hyphnip. I believe this song is about finding the truth (whatever that may be to you, in this song it seems to be God) and the oppressive world around you subsequently falling apart.
The significance of babylon is this. Long ago the Hebrews were held captive in babylon for years and years, and babylon was attacked and invaded by the persians and they were allowed to go back to Judah. The phrase babylon is commonly used to indicate a powerful but oppressive place.
