Maybe these lyrics are about Bonaparte, but there is an allegory here about modern times. Why write a song about a historic person and/or event if it has nothing to do with what is going on now? To me the lyrics represent the present economic situation we are in and that so many economic "castles" were built on salt & sand, ie, the credit crisis so many people find themselves in. Also, "not an honest word was said," think about the banks and the mortgage crisis. Maybe I'm so old to think about a love affair gone wrong, but you have to admit there are alot of parallels.
