This song (to me, at least) seems to be about suicide and depression. Just a warning, in the following interpretation, I'll be mentioning self-harm, so read at your own risk.
"You split, and take in every time you see a faking counterfeit." - Every time someone's lied to him or let him down, told him things would get better, and they didn't. Those are the "faking counterfeits". He's gotten to such a low point that he believe any kind of positivity is a lie, and it consumes him.
"In the mirror you appear to see fear and whisper 'This is it.'" - TW - He's standing in a mirror, studying his reflection. He's ready to die, he's accepted his fate, and he's about to end his own life.
"In the mirror you appear to see nothing else but yourself as a hollowed out space." - As I stated earlier, these dark thoughts are consuming him, perhaps turning him into "a hollowed out space".
"Leave me with a razor and just in case I fall down on the ground." - This adds to the theory about this song having a theme of suicide. Razors, obviously, are one tool that can be used in the act of committing suicide. He's saying to leave him with that option just in case he falls into this hole of depression again, don't torture him by forcing him to stay alive.
I'm skipping a few verses here
"It's time to say goodbye, to the Earth and now my worthless life, 'cause everything I've ever made is dead now inside the grave." - This also enforces the idea of this song being based off suicide. Tyler clearly believes that nothing he's done at this point in his life matters, and it will matter even less once he's dead.
"I just don't want to be so many things." - This could mean plenty of things. Maybe he doesn't want to be alive. Maybe he doesn't want to be depressed. Maybe he doesn't want to be so held down by the people around him.
"I just wanna sing, I just wanna breathe, I just wanna fly, I just wanna close my eyes" - He wants peace, he wants the war inside of his mind to come to an end.
"I just wanna run, and murder my care, I wanna believe that I will be free elsewhere." - Maybe he could find peace somewhere else- the next life, a new place, a different situation..?
"And I'm standing on a tower, trying my hardest to make it to you, hut I built this tower out of mortal bricks, it's breaking." - He's isolated himself. This tower of his is actually his mind. He's become fragile, and he's falling apart. He's trying to get help, to reach out to someone, but he's in too weak a state.
"I truly will surrender my pretender, my disguise." - No more fake smiles. No more saying he's okay when he's not. He's broke and shattered and his mind is at an all time low, and he's done hiding it. He knows he needs help.
"Render to your splendor" - This simply means he's retreating. He's not going to fight this war alone anymore. He's getting help now, maybe from a friend or a counselor or a doctor.
the rest of the verses are just repeating
None of this is confirmed, it's simply my general idea on what this song is about.
