The concept of "Castles in the Sky" is taken from Henry David Thoreau. It's been a very important quote in my and my family's life.
"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."
In the quote, it's saying it's okay to have your ambitions up high where they may seem unattainable. However, they're not necessarily impossible, if you just take steps underneath to reach them.
The song is questioning why you have such lofty goals, but perhaps looking back on the original quote will help. It's okay, as long as you build the foundations under so your dreams don't collapse.
