One of my fav Dio songs.. and 0 posts thus far? Blasphemy. Okay here is my simple interpretation of Faces In The Window. The song talks about facing the day and shelter at first. I view this as a reference to being awake. Then "I just fade away" is that state of consciousness when you are entering sleep (hypnagogic/hypnapompic states). Our human body is like a Window, and whatever our true self/spirit is looks through this window to percieve normal waking state reality... the same way a computer's operating system is called "Windows", well so is our body and mind. Also, notice the line, "Sleep comes slowly... your fire starts to die, you open up your eyes.." So, if sleep is coming, how are you then opening your eyes? Unless, opening your eyes is a reference to astral/dream travel and other states of consciousness accessed when we shut our physical senses off. As for "we are evil and divine, just creations of the mind," obviously Dio has had his Crown Chakra opened. When your Crown Chakra is functioning you realize how we are actually just the product of our own mind and thoughts (quite bewildering). Furthermore, in such states of consciousness you would also be meeting odd beings, entities, spirits, and Evil Eyes aswell!
