A lot of the songs on Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes remind me of various psychiatric diagnoses. This song, to me, sounds like it is about a guy who is on a manic high. The mania makes him see things differently, more clearly - hence he sees what he thought was the truth as a lie. He doesn't want to end up in the hospital again so he speaks in monotone, pretending he isn't in a manic state, he avoids socializing etc. "Watch Me Jumpstart* is another example of a manic episode. Either that or these songs are about the effects of amphetamines - drug induced manic episode.
