Lyric discussion by Simulacrum 

In biblical terms Babylon represents the Damned; the people without salvation who live a life of sinful indulgence until they invoke the wrath of God and are destroyed.

As for the meaning of the lyrics, I have no idea. This song is all over the place. Obviously, the subject of the song is having trouble, but who is it? Who is the "he" that is being mocked about filling the subject's life is "ecstasy"? Without knowing that, it's impossible to know what's meant by flying "higher" or being "inspired."

If I had to take a stab at it, I'd say it's about someone getting fed up with living an empty life of self-service and finding something worth living for.
