The song is about ego, and the problems that go along with it.
Everything you see is an illusion, a play but you are merely a player in it. A dream colored with your opinions and meanings you put on everything. You play roles, and you think that you are absolutely right about your opinions.
Nothing is permanent, and you are pursuing for things that are just vanity. In the song; when you walk through the golden halls you think you are in heaven. But when the walls come crumbling down you are back in your hell and this goes on and on and on. You fool.
The love is the answer, but there is no unselfish love. You have to be emphatic, you have to love even the player, or the singer or the dancer in the life.
You have look for the answer. You can wake up only after you realize that you're dreaming.
This is written also by an ego that thinks it is right. Wonderful lyrics in a wonderful song, anyway!
