The Puzzle

I have the booklet here, and the lyrics go like this:

And I tried to think, tried to paint the picture I lived it all, wouldn't have to feel this way Looking for something to believe in, I think I've done my time One by one the pieces fall, tell me what it is to believe

You can tell days by their faces There are always signs Answers to the puzzle Grab a piece of the light

Keep pretending I can handle everything You'll never understand me And I don't care what you think Or maybe I do?

I think the song is about depression or some such. The chorus seems to be the ultimate reinforcement of this, essentially, you can always tell what they've seen through their face, as there are always signs. Answers to the puzzle and grabbing the piece of light probably have something to do with some sort of solution.

It feels like they are talking about artists in general that have lost their inspiration for their work. They try to find the motivation to continue, all the while pretending not to care what their peers think, but they actually do.

Such a good song!! Can anyone comment or correct the chorus?

It's either: You can tell..changed by their faces... or You can tell...days by their faces or You can tell..change by their faces

Thanks :)

According to the booklet the chorus would be:

"You can tell days by their faces, There are always signs, Answers to the puzzle,
Grab a piece of the light"

And a small addendum :) The first verse starts off as "And I tried to think, tried to paint the picture"

And holy mother of Moses I love the outro
