I think this song is about having depression and trying to hide the bad thoughts from the person/people you care about the most. "And I will hide behind my pride/ Don't know why I think I can lie" Is saying how when we are are troubled or having one of those days where the depression is stronger we'll put on a face and "gode behind my pride" when we know we won't be able to lie forever. I think it could also tie into self harm, as we can try to lie about it but it always comes out.
And when he he says "painting the mental picture that's in my brain" It describes the way a depressed person might feel. I don't think this is a religious song like many are saying, I feel like a lot of religious people try to take songs about depression and relate then to their faith, which is fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. This is just what the song means to me.
