Lyric discussion by luckyliver 

Cover art for Cinema lyrics by Poison the Well

i feel that he's talking about someone who lives in their imagination too much. when he closes his eyes he's making things up in his head hence the movie screens. i think there is a point though where the character realizes he cant keep living in this world where his imagination is reality so he talks himself into accepting reality. he really wants to stay in this world where his imagination is king but he doesn't want to be remembered as this person who always lived in the clouds. instead of day dreaming and living in his imagination he goes and does something real with his time. kind of sad though to think someone has to grow up and get rid of their imagination because life comes knocking.
