It could be about someone who was raised in a religious family and had been religious all of his life until he found that he doesn't really feel connected to his beliefs, which make him do things in a certain way and feel guilty about not doing them perfectly.
"And I’m crying for things
I tell others to do without crying"
Things like happiness and feeling good about yourself. Religion doesn't see these things as something important.
He starts seeing the beauty in small and simple pleasures and starts feeling connected to the world due to just being.
He finds his meaning in being. Very existential;
This man of a thousand faces - religious on the outside but free from religion on the inside - reminds me of Camu's happy Sisyphus.
