I really liked this post @beeber, good on you for highlighting it and trying to bring it into the spotlight as best you can. It's an age old problem, but hopefully one that is getting a little better, as people seem to be better at opening up these days and being vulnerable. As you say below, we can all wear a mask at times for whatever reason..
We like to do that, don't we? Also we "girls", that we cover up something that actually touches us very much, maybe even ridicule it, continue to play our role at any price, don't want to drop our masks because we are afraid to show ourselves.
Great songs too, I always like to hear anything from the Cure and Dream Theatre reminds me of my old Spanish buddy Toni that used to live with us around twenty years ago, a really good guy and big metal head! I love that guitar solo around 2:10 in The Silent Man.
All the three songs get your post theme out there, but for me Dax does the best job of it, beautiful song.
