Well, usually if a business bankrupts, and no one wants the empty building (because that business had to move out), they'd take that one down (dynamite), and build a new one, or leave the lot bare.
It's a really complicated metaphore. I think it may be about how corporations seem to be taking over everything, even, in this case, the sky.
But, I have no idea. That's just a wild guess.

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Really good ones guys, I've wondered about that lyric before, too.
I thought it meant morally. "The dynamite is waiting, cuz we bankrupted teh sky". Basically we're screwed so bad, let's finish it all off". Kind of pessimistic, but that's how I took it.

"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.
