Here's my formal invitation;
You and me go masquerading
Lose ourselves in this charade and
Is this love we're imitating?

facades, camera, action

you know the thing about life being a stage where everyone's an actor and such?
i beg to differ.
life ain't a stage, life's a set:
everything is set up to seem so perfect to deceive the people on the outside.
face it, we've all wanted to be that main character in a tv show at least once in our lives.
we've all believed that life in that tv serial is 'true' that the characters 'exist'.
yeah they do. in pixels and soundwaves.
and then you feel so cheated that that life you wanted was just a story.

sure, a stage has props and stuff to make the characters more real,
but a stage is real: the people on stage play out the lives of the characters, so in a way, they ARE the characters.
try putting yourself into the shoes of Josh in BBYD.
are you yourself or are you Josh?
confusing eh?

in short, like a director knows his set, you know your life.
your life to others is a stage, something to show the heavily edited course of your life;
your life to yourself is a set, your life will never seem perfect to you 'cos you know all the tiny details about it.
your life is merely a facade.
