This my favorite Pillows song. It's about learning that the ideals everyone holds of happiness and all that aren't actually possible or true. The lines:
I realized, the night of our rendezvous
To have been seen in high spirits
Was just an afterimage completely warped by this generation
kinda summarize it well. The rest of it is basically assuring that it's all there and it's all possible, but it's not those stereotypes we see in our culture. You can be happy, and you don't hafta be some overpopular person with a "normal" everything to have that, it's just something that's there, even in the most sullen situations (giving meaning to the "crazy" part of "crazy sunshine". It doesn't always make sense to have a sense of happiness in dark times, but it gets you through them.)
