the repetition of the words ''its only castles burnings'' suggest that there are many castles, maybe even an infinite ammount, that are made to be burned. Thats why i believe the term ''castles burning'' refers to something dying, or death.
It also could be a term meaning everyday life. ''Its only castles burning'', meaning something along the lines of ''this shit goes on everyday'' and there is nothing we can do about it.
On the other hand, it could also be figurative language such as sarcasm. ''Its only castles burning '' could mean ''its only death''. its just the unknown. what is there to be afraid of?
I don't think he wanted to say " this shit goes on every day". Castles have burned - they're built to stand the test of time but they can come down. If Neil wanted to say: "this shit goes on every day" he would've written "Don't let it bring you down / it's only toilets flushing". Or something.
