There is a TON of spiritual imagery in this song. One that particularly caught my eye was when he refers to his castles standing "upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand". I think this possibly is a reference to the sermon on the mount where Jesus speaks of a wise man building is house on a rock while the foolish man builds his house on the sand, only to be washed away. I am not sure on most of the meaning of this song but I do think that there is a link between total power and foolishness, contrasted with the loss of power (dependence on something else?) and gaining wisdom of your situation.
'Pillars of salt' probably refers to the story of Sodom and Gomorah. God wanted to save Lot (Abram's nephew) and his family, so he told him to take his two daughters and his wife to flee from the city before it burned. God told them not to look back even once. Lot's wife, however, didn't listen to God and, as they fled, she turned to look back at the burning city. For breaking God's command she was instantly turned into a pillar of salt.

No, both of you are wrong. Mentioning that his castle was built on pillars of salt and sand only establishes the inevitable collapse of the speaker's power. Notice how he mentioned that the walls were closed on him? He's saying that he's trapped in that situation now and there's nothing that he can do, as everything falls in around him.

@tgbeinlich The INCARNATION of Jesus, who used to rule the world, seas would rise when He gave the word, but in the flesh / incarnation he became a poor lonely servant, sleeping alone, sweeping the streets he used to own.
