Lyric discussion by Proyas 

Cover art for Faces In Disguise lyrics by Sunny Day Real Estate

I always thought the lyric was "faces in disguise, not a trace of design" It never made much sense to me because I always felt the song was very much about his spirituality, and if all that is around us was created, it would make sense for this song of discovery (which is how it always felt to me: a sense of awakening or rebirth or what-have-you). "go face the day, go and see new things"

Very uplifting and beautiful song.
