Hiding

Twenty One Pilots has a song (link is in the right margin) called Car Radio.  My impression is that the song is about awareness, specifically about feeling our emotions.  A short passage reads:

There's no hiding for me
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real

And now I just sit in silence

How much time do we spend every day hiding from what we feel?  Society tells us to push those emotions down.  Don't feel them.  So we do.  But they lurk, just below the surface.  

Instead of reaching for a distraction any time we have a spare moment, why not sit in silence?
