Cover art for It's Gettin' Easy lyrics by Dear and the Headlights

"In this act I’ll disguise those dead eyes, stretch tight the lips, a glistening gum line Mouth curtains pulled I shine"

meaning smiling but it means nothing.

"In this act I’ll disguise those dead eyes, lay flat the tongue Let the supplement slide down Everything is fine

And my brain is cloudy, leveled out The pill dissolved It’s flushing out everything I care about and not replacing it with anything substantial"

taking pills (most likely an anti depressant) and not making him himself.

i love the whole "straight jacket mind" to me it symbolizes that he isnt himself and has to have somthing to control himself.

it means EXACTLY what im going through.
