Yes, it means that we should let each other know about our feelings. Not keeping them inside ourselves. As to communicate better with each other.

Rhythm Player 		#2 by fred ozanne at Mar 28, 1989 at 6:37 AM EST
This song is amazing. Its basically about trying to understand each other and opening up to each other in a relationship. It says everyone lets their emotional guard down, and we have to notice it, to understand everyone. Also we close ourselves up to our partner because we are afraid of their scorn at our innerselves and because we feel insecure. Very good song.
