Lyric discussion by Kaspar7169 

I think it is about mankind and how we are always at war with everything, including each other. We are constantly battling everything. Our feelings, emotions, views, and we never seem to understand that everyone has an opinion. We think that our view is the best view and everyone should follow that view. Yet, we are all unique individuals, and instead of agreeing to disagree, we argue, fight, and go to war over everything. Hence the "building it up, to break it back down, building it up to burn it down".

Props to Kaspar 7169.
