I love this song. I think it's that when everything seems fake and emotions (unconscious, not realized) overwhelm, you just want to hide, so you can be in your own peace. You can only define your feelings relatively, and don't know what they are. The person expects change to happen so that their feelings will change but their unconscious is clinging to the feelings. We have been demanded by society to stand strong and never give in to anything, so the person needs to hide their negative feelings and still find the meaning of life so they're whole and have a purpose in life. The outward person they are has made the inner person sad. All the lies the world gives, the person gives and hears, stop the person from feeling.

Life goes on too fast nowadays, people repress emotions, devotion to passions have to be sacrificed.Hiding emotions is stupid and only causes you to blow up. Even those who preach this don't listen to their advice. The unconscious controls much of us, we need to work with it and understand, not repress it and hate it. If everyone showed emotions, they wouldn't feel exposed.
