To me it sounds like he is pretending to be someone that he isn't, and hates it.
Every raindrop looks the same
They fall without pretending through the night.
The raindrops are also other people, they may all look the same but at least they are not pretending. He has to pretend just to fit in.
But this is someone else
I am just beneath the surface.
This pretty much explains the song for me. His 'real' self is just beneath the surface of his constructed image, but noone ever sees it. Which hurts.
In the pouring rain
I'm bleeding, I die.
And I'm crying in pain
I'm bleeding, I die.
Because if noone ever sees your 'true' self, it pretty much is gone. The 'good' person you may be inside doesn't exist if all people see is the asshole you pretend to be.
