"Life is beautiful; Smile!"
"I can't see it that way"
As if someone was telling them to feel better about their life, or to feel better about the day, but they just couldn't bring themselves to see anything but darkness and sadness.
Since Charles Cooper killed himself, I think it's safe to assume that this was a very emotionally driven song for him. You can feel his pain throughout the track, laced in every layer. This whole album really had a very dark ambiance to it.
