Alabama 3 – Keep Your Shades On! Lyrics 11 years ago
I think the song is all about covering up pain and sadness behind casual indifference. The speakers complaints in the song are always met with the response, "keep your shades on".

With sunglasses on no one can tell what the speaker of the story is feeling indicated in the lines, "they say the eyes are the windows, I can't help you sweetheart, you say if you'll go tonight its to find some truth beneath my high sunglasses, ooh, that aint no way.

Basically the song is about covering up your emotions behind a cool look.
