The innocence of a childhood where achievements came easily, juxtaposed with the more jaundiced views of how utterly useless all the knowledge and skills proved to be in dealing with the real world. And how some of the people you've come to know - who function most effectively in this adult world - are utterly, transparently, hollow and talentless... ah, but are they? Appearances: never quite came to terms with them
lyrics
TRANSPARENT
When I was a child I wondered where my life would go
There was no real limit to the facts that I could know
I was optimistic for the progress man would show
Little did I wonder at events that would follow
I see you in the movies, it almost made me smile
You are looking groovy, you think that you have style
Sun-tanned in the lights you bask, your smile is just a plastic mask
Rows of teeth are so sincere, your image is painfully clear
But to me you're like a window, and I say that not to hurt
Somehow we are so shallow, from birth to dust and dirt
We can't implement our words, contradictions so absurd
We think we are what we appear, running from our petty fear
Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh
Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh
Now I'm not a child I wonder where my life will go
There's still no real limit to the facts that I could know
I'm not optimistic for the progress man will show
I must sit and wonder at events that will follow
I see you in the movies, it almost made me smile
You are looking groovy, you think that you have style
Sun-tanned in the lights you bask, your smile is just a plastic mask
Rows of teeth are so sincere, your image is painfully clear
But to me you're like a window, and I say that not to hurt
Somehow we are so shallow, from birth to dust and dirt
We can't implement our words, contradictions so absurd
We think we are what we appear, running from our petty fear
Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh
Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh
