It's quite simple really. The term "Ghost in the Shell" and "Ghost in the Machine" has to do with the consciousness in relation to the body.
Being the "King of My Castle" refers to the state of being in control of oneself. What this song is asking is for a reason why it is so that we are free to rule within the captive body; why we're free within our prison. It does pre-suppose a ghost in a shell in some form.
Of course, the song itself is more expressionistic since it's ludicrous to pre-suppose a need for a reason why thing are as they are.
