Sunny Day Real Estate – The Rising Tide Lyrics 13 years ago
Will you escape your life with all the walls you build?
Smother your will and lead you into fasion...

Will you repair your life with all the holes you fill?
Smother your will and drain you of your passion
Will you defend your life and all the hope you feel?
Or smother your will and lead you into fasion...


These fit perfectly about a friend I have... the war inside himself between the idealism which believes that hope exists, and the realism that won't accept the existence of hope. So he ends up building up walls to protect himself from any sort of pain. But that causes him to miss out on so much in life. I wish I could ask him that last question... I wish we could ride the rising tide together.

Sunny Day Real Estate – Faces In Disguise Lyrics 13 years ago
Imo, pfinarffle has it right, though I would add one more note:

(Cold) faces in disguise
Not a trace of desire

Narrator seems to be musing that he and the ex-lover put up the pretense that they don't care about each other anymore, though whether the other actually does or doesn't isn't clear.
