Unveiling Hidden Masks: Radio Free Alice's Revelatory Square
Lyrics
So your fathers in his room wearing makeup
Reflecting on a father who is in his room applying makeup.
How'd he make it this far in a lie
Questioning how the father has managed to sustain a life built on falsehood.
But that kamikaze looking war paint
Describing the makeup as resembling war paint, specifically associated with kamikaze pilots.
It's the only thing that won't make him cry
Suggesting that the makeup is a defense mechanism, preventing the father from expressing his emotions.
But you know why he's here
Posing a question about the purpose of the father's presence.
No you don't, yes you do
Highlighting the ambiguity surrounding the father's motives.
But my mind is shot without you
Expressing a sense of mental distress in the absence of someone.
And my feelings are gone without you
Conveying the emptiness of emotions without the presence of a significant person.
Who really cares what clothes you wear
Minimizing the importance of external appearances, suggesting a deeper concern.
I don't mind you turned out not so square
Accepting and appreciating the individual for not conforming to societal norms.
They only want to be you
Noting the desire of others to emulate the individual.
I only want to be you
Expressing a personal aspiration to be like the individual.
So the money dried up and you stayed in
Describing a situation where financial resources have diminished, but the individual chooses to remain indoors.
Pretending that nothings wrong
Highlighting the act of pretending that everything is fine despite challenges.
If you stay another day inside your door
Warning about the potential consequences of staying isolated for too long.
You know you may sink under the floor
Suggesting that prolonged isolation may lead to personal downfall.
But no one here cares but you and yourself
Indicating that the concern for the individual's well-being is primarily internal.
But my mind is shot without you
Reiterating the mental impact of the absence of a significant person.
And my feelings are gone without you
Emphasizing the emotional void experienced without the presence of someone.
Who really cares about what clothes you wear
Repeating the idea that external appearance is inconsequential.
I don't mind you turned out not so square
Reaffirming acceptance and appreciation for the individual's unique identity.
They want to be you
Highlighting the external desire of others to imitate the individual.
I only want to be you
Reiterating the personal aspiration to emulate the individual.
