There is some merit to what has been said about naive conceptions of the world and how to change it, but this song screams human pride to me. We convince ourselves of mankind's progress but its really a mirage, ie we end up on the floor, not really having progressed anywhere from our selfishness and arrogance. We are building towers without firm foundation because they are of this faulty vision of human progress. We have no firm foundation because we are building towers on the illusion of mankind's moving into the future better than he was in the past.
