I see what the guy above me is saying, but I dissagree. I think he is close and yet far at the same time.
I think what Dio was trying to say with this song was that when people face the light that society shine on you, they seek "shelter" by acting like everybody else. When is says "faces in the window" basicly, when you are in the house (and incase someone who reads this doesnt know a house counts as a shelter) you can look outside the window. When the song said "I see clearly who's behind the wall, yes, I can see us all" he was talking about those hiding their true selfs from the world.
when the song says "The fire starts to die when you open up your eyes" the fire is refering to your passions. lets say you go to a school where most of the people that go there listens to rap, and you dont like rap and you prefer Rock. Well then your passion for Rock would start to die when you wake up in the morning because you want to fit in and like rap, so your true self takes "shelter" and hides while you act like you love rap.
Makes sence?
