For me, what he's saying in this song is, when you "escape" from reality, it's a lie, basically. But, it's a beautiful lie because it's not real and everything's perfect. His reality and his escape are starting to blend together and he keeps reminding himself that this is not all real and that life is not perfect like he wants it to be. Call me insane, but, when I first read the lyrics to this song, I was reminded of the song "Imaginary" by Evanescence [no, I'm not saying they're anything like Evanescence]. Excellent song, by the way.
