This disguise is a product of “(his) own design”. His rationales for adopting this alternate persona seem to be based on emotions tantamount to self-doubt, fear and selling out. Or an alternate explanation is that he has become a different person due to some type of addiction, since he refers to his “disguise” as a “codependent vice”. Either way, he has delved so deep into this masquerade that he is now having trouble finding his way out.

Lyrics of "Disguise"

Ultimately he decides that he must overcome being lost in his disguise, even though he is admittedly an angry and hurt person. In order to do so, he must basically face his fears and an unpredictable fate head-on. However, the main themes expressed through the song appear to be encouragement for the individual not to be overcome by depression or to lose touch with who they truly are.
