Cover art for Paranoid Eyes lyrics by Pink Floyd

This song is about someone coming back from the war, which is the whole basis of the album. And all the horrors you have seen and done in war. That when you finally come home you have to try to forget about what has happened and "cover" so to speak the war scars and be like everyone else at the bar. Knowing that underneath your mask, you are years older then you are. By the way I love this album.
