I think it's about someone with a past or secret that haunts him/her. They want to leave it behind but it's difficult to hide from not only themself, but also others.
Because of this, this person has a guarded exterior and has reinvented himself into a lie, and is miserable about it. The 'roaring' is the lie, and the 'weeping' is the truth.
