I feel exactly like the first verse. I'm not sure I understand the the part below though. Can anybody help?
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade
I think that part is talking about Christian people who put on a fake mask at church to make them seem happy and holy.

When really they're struggling and hurting but trying not to let anyone know it.

So we should all be ourselves at church and make others feel comfortable, because there are others that may feel out of place at church and hurting inside and seeing all the overly happy people may push them...
