Cover art for Dice Behind Your Shades lyrics by Paul Westerberg

Roll the Dice behind the shades means Roll your eyes at all this crap you are seeing. Possibly written for a girl who the singer sees someone 'twice her age' hitting on.

Everyone around her is trying to talk down to her/ to make her feel stupid. When all they are doing is lying and making up stuff. She has gotten stuck in a pseudo intellectual crowd when she really needs to take it to a higher place/ where the fake action ain't/ ... open windows/ open shutters (of the mind?). Looking at all around her.
