Similar to the song "Damage Inside" from their previous album, this one explores the theme of hidden pain and the masks that we wear to conceal our emotions and struggles. It gives a few examples of those who wear masks. A grieving widow who uses alcohol as a temporary escape from her pain, hoping to fill the void within, and dabbing perfume on her neck and smiling to hide her true emotions. There's also an old man who resorts to alcohol as a means to forget his past mistakes, but instead, it erases his connections to his loved ones. He wants to protect them and maintains a false image, telling lies and spinning tales, but the lies are only causing further harm. It implies that the demons of our past may resurface at times, but that it's essential we confront them instead of hiding them away.
