This song is saying that all the rich people with there perfect little lives and there fancy living will soon crash down he is referring to rich people like kings saying "wheres your crown" meaning when its all gone your "absolutely nothing"

I agree with the more obvious interpretation, everything for rich people will eventually suck and by pushing everyone away to get what you want and to be powerful, you alienate yourself and when 'the castles crumbled and you're left with just the dead' you have nothing. 'where's your crown king nothing' means you think your so important but you're really nothing special. But i thought i might just postulate one thing, does anyone else notice the similarities between this song and the Shakespearean play 'MacBeth' (if you've read it), they are very similar, but yea this is probably just a coincidence

It's about materialism.

I agree that it's about materialism, but not neccessarily rich people. It applies to all people who think that gaining more will make them happy, when in the end they will have nothing.
